Capital Gains Bypass Strategy
It’s not how much you sell for, but how much you keep
​
As a business broker, I have been frustrated by how much capital gains taxes reduces the wealth derived from my clients' sales of their businesses. In Virginia, it is 28.8% because of state income tax. This influences the value an owner seeks because of these capital gain taxes—an equity loss of 30%! So, I worked on seeking ways to overcome this and provide a better, safer use of those tax monies to benefit owner wealth.
Fed Rate is 15% - 20%
State rate is different per state, VA is 5.75%
Medicare gets 3.8%
Total for Virginia: 24.55% - 29.55%
In Virginia, this adds up to a total of 24.55% - 29.55% Capital Gains Tax.
So, for every $1,000,000 in capital gain, you are taxed $245,500 - $295,500.
In essence, the mission as a business broker goes beyond facilitating transactions; it encompasses safeguarding and enhancing the wealth of clients.
