Impact of valuation discounts on estate and income tax basis
Article Abstract:
Estate and income taxes on family businesses can be reduced through discounting the decedent's closely held assets. Estate planners can utilize minority interest, lack of marketability, blockage and other discounts when evaluating the tax liability of a family business that is part of an estate. Families need to cooperate with practitioners to create a customized succession plan that utilizes all available valuation strategies.
