What got less attention was the bill's Investing in Opportunity Act, which established Opportunity Zones and Opportunity Funds.
In this article, we explain the fundamentals of Opportunity Zones and Opportunity Funds, and their potential implications of Opportunity Zones for both residents and investors.
Opportunity Zones are census tracts generally composed of economically distressed communities that qualify for the Opportunity Zone designation according to criteria outlined in 2017's Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.
Opportunity Zones and Opportunity Funds were created to stimulate private investment in Opportunity Zone communities in exchange for capital gain tax incentives.
Most importantly, there is no cap on the amount of capital that can be invested into qualified Opportunity Zones, and hence no arbitrary limit on the extent to which Opportunity Zones and Opportunity Funds may help reshape downtrodden communities.
In exchange for investing in Opportunity Zones, investors can access capital gains tax incentives available exclusively through Opportunity Zones.
As previously mentioned, Opportunity Funds are governed by IRC section 1400Z-2 and Opportunity Funds can self-certify to the IRS. But each Opportunity Fund is responsible for ensuring that they abide by the guidelines of regulations in order to be able to offer tax incentives.
