Valuation Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) was signed into law by President Trump on Dec. 22, 2017. The President referred to the legislation as the biggest tax cut in American history, with substantial reductions in both corporate and personal income tax rates. Whether or not that holds true, it is by far the most significant income tax legislation since 1986, when the passive activity rules were first enacted.
The TCJA will have significant impact on the value of Subchapter C corporations, as well as pass-through entities and the owners thereof. This article focuses first and primarily on the impact of tax reform on C corporations. Second, it looks briefly at the significant and complex changes to pass through entities, which include Subchapter S corporations, limited liability corporations and partnerships and sole proprietorships. This latter pass-through taxation aspect will dramatically change the tax landscape for the owners of these pass-through entities as they assess the impact of the TCJA on their individual income tax obligations.
