On August 2, 2016, the U.S. Treasury Department issued long-awaited proposed regulations under Internal Revenue Code Section 2704. These proposed regulations are designed to limit discounts on family-owned businesses, family limited partnerships and similar entities. The proposed regulations have created a whirlwind of commentary in the estate planning and valuation communities, with differing interpretations of the impact. The Treasury Department has scheduled a hearing on December 1, 2016, and announced that the regulations will not be effective until 30 days following the adoption of final regulations.
This presentation explores the uncertainty arising from the proposed regulations, and how it impacts planning and valuation issues pre- and post-adoption of the regulations.
