Opportunity zones are attracting major focus from real estate and private equity investors seeking income tax deferrals and tax free transactions.

The law was designed to encourage taxpayers to sell appreciated assets, invest the resulting gain in certain low income areas—called “opportunity zones”—and defer tax on that gain, with an added tax break if the money is invested for ten years or more. It sounds straightforward, but with a complex code provision, new and anticipated regulations and guidance, it’s important to be able to navigate through the law in order to partake in its benefits.

Join us in Washington, DC, for a one-day conference featuring industry experts and government officials who will explore the ins and outs of the new law, the emerging regulations and guidance, and the efforts of the newly created White House Opportunity Zone Council to ensure you walk away with a better understanding of how the law works. There will also be ample time for networking with government and business leaders.

Topics covered will include:

• Opportunity Zones overview
• What’s happening inside the government? New regulations and other guidance—The White House Council—proposed legislative fixes
• Sophisticated tax and legal issues to defer taxes on gain and using a Qualified Opportunity Fund
• Views from investors and developers
• Looking forward: What’s new. What’s next.
