real challenges. real answers. sm
5
Qualified Business Income (“QBI”)
Deduction
 20% deduction for flow-through income
 Limited to the greater of:
– 50% of W-2/wages paid or
– 25% of W-2/wages paid plus 2.5% of the cost of
tangible depreciable property for qualifying
businesses
 Subject to certain limitations and phase-outs
 Aggregation issues
real challenges. real answers. sm
6
Qualified Business Income (“QBI”)
Deduction , cont’d
 Allows individual taxpayers to deduct 20% of
domestic “qualified business income” (QBI) from a
partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship
(“qualified businesses”) subject to certain limitations
and thresholds.
 “Qualified businesses” do not include “specified
service trade or businesses” (accounting, law,
health, several other professions, service
businesses related to investing, and financial
services) but engineering and architecture trades
are not excluded.
real challenges. real answers. sm
7
Interest Expense Deduction Limitation
 Across the board limitations on the deductibility of
business interest expense.
 Real property and farming trades or businesses can
make an irrevocable election out of the business
interest deduction limitation. These businesses must
then use the alternative depreciation system to
depreciate property with a recovery period of 10
years or more.
real challenges. real answers. sm
8
Interest Expense Deduction
Limitation, cont’d
 In common parlance, this limitation is described as
limiting the deduction of net interest expense to the
extent of 30% of “adjusted taxable income” where:
– For the first four years, “adjusted taxable income” is
EBITDA (computed on a tax basis); and
– Later, “adjusted taxable income” is 30% of EBIT.
 Only applies where average annual gross receipts for
prior 3 years exceed $25 million
 Limit is recalculated every year, so a bad year can get
worse fast.
real challenges. real answers. sm
9
Immediate Expense Deduction and
Section 179
 Immediate expensing of tangible property placed in
service between September 27, 2017 through 2022.
 5 year phase-out: 80% expensing in 2023, 60% in 2024,
etc.
 Applies to new and used property so long as it is
purchaser’s first use of the property.
 Applies to tangible property with 20 year depreciation or
less.
– Cost segregation worth more
– Asset purchases more valuable
– Purchase price allocations more important
real challenges. real answers. sm
10
Immediate Expense Deduction and
Section 179, cont’d
 There were four categories of improvements to the interior of
nonresidential buildings: leasehold improvements, retail
improvement property, restaurant property, and qualified
improvement property.
 Now, there is only one general definition, “qualified improvement
property.”
– Includes most interior improvements made after real property is placed
in service
– Supposed to get 15 year depreciation, but may have been inadvertently
left out.
– Qualified improvement property: normal is 15 years, ADS should be 20
years, but may have been erroneously omitted. Result unclear.
 Error means property could be subject to lengthy depreciation, and
could also disqualify this property from immediate expensing.
real challenges. real answers. sm
11
Immediate Expense Deduction and
Section 179, cont’d
 Prior law allowed immediate deduction of $510,000 in
purchases of qualified property in 2017, so long as total
purchases did not exceed $2,030,000
– Qualified property is tangible personal property (not
real estate, except as described below)
 New Law increases the deduction to $1,000,000 with
purchase limit of $2,500,000 (both indexed for inflation)
 Includes Qualified Improvement Property, roofs, HVAC,
fire and security
real challenges. real answers. sm
12
NOL Limitations
 Corporate net operating loss carrybacks are eliminated.
 Net operating losses carryforward indefinitely but are
limited to 80% of taxable income.
 Technical Correction Possible:
– The new 80% deduction limit is effective for losses arising
in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017 but the Tax Act
made the changes to carrybacks and carryforwards
effective for tax years ending after that date.
– For fiscal year companies with 2017 taxable years ending
after Dec. 31, 2017, this results in an unexpected problem
if they have incurred significant losses they were hoping to
carryback.
real challenges. real answers. sm
13
Limitation on Deductibility of State Taxes
 Individuals are limited to state and local tax
deductions at $10,000 (property plus choice of
income or sales taxes, as under old law).
 Taxable entities are not subject to these
limitations.
 Implications for flow through state and local
income taxes.
real challenges. real answers. sm
14
Limitation on Deductibility of State Taxes, cont’d
 State Tax Deductions Limited to $10,000
– Worse for Blue States
 Ranking of States by Income and Property Tax Per

18
Historical Role of Flow-Throughs and C
Corporations in the SBIC Industry
 Significance of portfolio entity type not as relevant if
investment is debt rather than equity (including
options/warrants)
 Equity investments in flow-through entities
– Generally more tax efficient due to single level tax
– Requires tax distributions
– Gap has closed due to rate changes
– Complication for Tax Exempt Fund Investors – use of
blocker C corporations (including limitations due to 25% /
50% ownership rules – UBIT)
real challenges. real answers. sm
19
Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law
Changes on the Choice of Entity
 Historically, the tax code has been biased
toward operating in pass-through form, but the
Tax Act significantly reduced the disparity in
effective tax rates.
real challenges. real answers. sm
20
Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law
Changes on the Choice of Entity, cont’d
 Examples of businesses that may want to incorporate:
– Businesses that reinvest most of their earnings. Corporate tax
rate is now 21% whereas pass-through income is taxed at 29.6%
to owner if a full QBI deduction is available, and 37% if no
deduction is available.
 E.g., assets light and labor light businesses; high tech
business
– Business whose shares may qualify as Section 1202 “Qualified
Small Business Stock”
– Businesses that can make use of nonqualified deferred
compensation.
– C Corporations with foreign sales or who own foreign
subsidiaries.
real challenges. real answers. sm
21
Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law
Changes on the Choice of Entity, cont’d
 CAVEAT: Once a business chooses to incorporate,
changing back to pass-through form may cause gain
recognition.
– Corporation to partnership (legal partnership or LLC taxed as
partnership): Gain recognized as if assets sold at fair value.
– C Corporation to S Corporation:
– All shareholders must be eligible shareholders.
– One class of stock rule.
– Corporate tax is levied on asset sales within 5 years of the
election to the extent that unrealized built-in gains existed on the
election date.
– Accumulated earnings remain subject to double tax.
real challenges. real answers. sm
22
Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law
Changes on the Choice of Entity, cont’d
 Examples of businesses that may wish to be organized
in or remain in pass-through form:
– Businesses that distribute most of their earnings. Effective federal tax
rate to corporate shareholders is 39.8% whereas pass-through effective
rate is 29.6% if a full QBI deduction is available. (E.g., asset intensive
and labor intensive businesses.)
– If no QBI deduction is available, individual rate is 37%, which is still ~
3% lower than effective rate to shareholders, assuming NII tax doesn’t
apply – otherwise rates are about the same (39.8% vs. 40.8%).
– Certain heavily leveraged businesses because it is easier for pass-
throughs (e.g., partnerships) to work around the new limitation on
interest deductions.
– S Corporations with foreign subsidiaries can avoid immediate inclusion
of tax deferred foreign earnings.
real challenges. real answers. sm
23
Section 1202
 21% Corporate Tax Rate – 40% Rate Reduction
 Lower C Corp Rate Opportunity – Choice of Entity
 Lower C Corp Rate Opportunity: Qualified Small Business
Stock
– QSBS is C corp stock
• Issued after 1993
• Company value is less than $50 million up through
stock issuance
• Must be active trade or business
• Must be held for 5 years
• Doesn’t work for service businesses or real estate
– Up to 100% Gain Exclusion

Dilemma of Future Uncertainty

 Tax reform 2.0?
real challenges. real answers. sm
29
A Few Key Points
 Choice of Entity is now more complicated – certain provisions
of the tax bill favor corporate form, like the flat 21% tax rate
and desire to reinvest profits, while others, such as the 20%
deduction of qualified business income and distribution of
profits, favor pass-throughs.
 M&A is likely to accelerate, and asset sales will be more
important because of new rule allowing immediate expensing
of tangible asset purchases.
 New provisions will require careful planning and coordination
– new limit on interest deductions, 20% deduction from
taxable income of pass-through businesses, new depreciation
and immediate expensing rules, etc.

  • 3. real challenges. real answers. sm 3 Overview of the Major Tax Act Provisions Affecting the SBIC Industry  Rate Reductions including Choice of Entity  Qualified Business Income (“QBI”) Deduction  Interest Expense Deduction Limitation  Changes to Depreciation and Expensing  NOL Limitations  Limitation on Deductibility of State Taxes  Further Limits on Deductibility for Meals, Entertainment and Employee Parking  Choice of Entity – To be a Flow-Through or not to be a Flow-Through – That is the question
  • 4. real challenges. real answers. sm 4 Rate Reductions  37% Top Individual Rate (40.8% including net investment income tax) • Prior maximum was up to 45%  29.6% Effective Rate on Business Income From Pass- Throughs Eligible for Full 20% Deduction  21% C Corporation Tax Rate Reduced to Flat 21% • Qualified Dividends still subject to shareholder level tax of up to 23.8% • Overall effective federal tax rate of 39.8% for earnings if distributed (down from 50%)  23.8% Capital Gains Tax Rate Did Not Change
  • 5. real challenges. real answers. sm 5 Qualified Business Income (“QBI”) Deduction  20% deduction for flow-through income  Limited to the greater of: – 50% of W-2/wages paid or – 25% of W-2/wages paid plus 2.5% of the cost of tangible depreciable property for qualifying businesses  Subject to certain limitations and phase-outs  Aggregation issues
  • 6. real challenges. real answers. sm 6 Qualified Business Income (“QBI”) Deduction , cont’d  Allows individual taxpayers to deduct 20% of domestic “qualified business income” (QBI) from a partnership, S corporation, or sole proprietorship (“qualified businesses”) subject to certain limitations and thresholds.  “Qualified businesses” do not include “specified service trade or businesses” (accounting, law, health, several other professions, service businesses related to investing, and financial services) but engineering and architecture trades are not excluded.
  • 7. real challenges. real answers. sm 7 Interest Expense Deduction Limitation  Across the board limitations on the deductibility of business interest expense.  Real property and farming trades or businesses can make an irrevocable election out of the business interest deduction limitation. These businesses must then use the alternative depreciation system to depreciate property with a recovery period of 10 years or more.
  • 8. real challenges. real answers. sm 8 Interest Expense Deduction Limitation, cont’d  In common parlance, this limitation is described as limiting the deduction of net interest expense to the extent of 30% of “adjusted taxable income” where: – For the first four years, “adjusted taxable income” is EBITDA (computed on a tax basis); and – Later, “adjusted taxable income” is 30% of EBIT.  Only applies where average annual gross receipts for prior 3 years exceed $25 million  Limit is recalculated every year, so a bad year can get worse fast.
  • 9. real challenges. real answers. sm 9 Immediate Expense Deduction and Section 179  Immediate expensing of tangible property placed in service between September 27, 2017 through 2022.  5 year phase-out: 80% expensing in 2023, 60% in 2024, etc.  Applies to new and used property so long as it is purchaser’s first use of the property.  Applies to tangible property with 20 year depreciation or less. – Cost segregation worth more – Asset purchases more valuable – Purchase price allocations more important
  • 10. real challenges. real answers. sm 10 Immediate Expense Deduction and Section 179, cont’d  There were four categories of improvements to the interior of nonresidential buildings: leasehold improvements, retail improvement property, restaurant property, and qualified improvement property.  Now, there is only one general definition, “qualified improvement property.” – Includes most interior improvements made after real property is placed in service – Supposed to get 15 year depreciation, but may have been inadvertently left out. – Qualified improvement property: normal is 15 years, ADS should be 20 years, but may have been erroneously omitted. Result unclear.  Error means property could be subject to lengthy depreciation, and could also disqualify this property from immediate expensing.
  • 11. real challenges. real answers. sm 11 Immediate Expense Deduction and Section 179, cont’d  Prior law allowed immediate deduction of $510,000 in purchases of qualified property in 2017, so long as total purchases did not exceed $2,030,000 – Qualified property is tangible personal property (not real estate, except as described below)  New Law increases the deduction to $1,000,000 with purchase limit of $2,500,000 (both indexed for inflation)  Includes Qualified Improvement Property, roofs, HVAC, fire and security
  • 12. real challenges. real answers. sm 12 NOL Limitations  Corporate net operating loss carrybacks are eliminated.  Net operating losses carryforward indefinitely but are limited to 80% of taxable income.  Technical Correction Possible: – The new 80% deduction limit is effective for losses arising in tax years beginning after Dec. 31, 2017 but the Tax Act made the changes to carrybacks and carryforwards effective for tax years ending after that date. – For fiscal year companies with 2017 taxable years ending after Dec. 31, 2017, this results in an unexpected problem if they have incurred significant losses they were hoping to carryback.
  • 13. real challenges. real answers. sm 13 Limitation on Deductibility of State Taxes  Individuals are limited to state and local tax deductions at $10,000 (property plus choice of income or sales taxes, as under old law).  Taxable entities are not subject to these limitations.  Implications for flow through state and local income taxes.
  • 14. real challenges. real answers. sm 14 Limitation on Deductibility of State Taxes, cont’d  State Tax Deductions Limited to $10,000 – Worse for Blue States  Ranking of States by Income and Property Tax Per Capita Top 10 1. CT - 5053 2. NY - 4789 3. NJ - 4544 4. MA - 4214 5. VT - 3472 6. RI - 3458 7. CA - 3376 8. MN - 3300 9. IL - 3244 10. OR - 3164 Bottom 10 1. TN - 876 2. NV - 953 3. FL - 1184 4. AL - 1209 5.

  • 15. real challenges. real answers. sm 15 Limitation on Deductibility of State Taxes, cont’d Compliments of the Tax Foundation © TaxFoundation
  • 16. real challenges. real answers. sm 16 Further Limits on Deductibility for Meals, Entertainment and Employee Parking  No deduction for entertainment expenses  Meals provided for convenience of employer are now only 50% deductible even if excludible from employees’ gross income as de minimis fringe benefits  Employee parking costs no longer deductible
  • 17. real challenges. real answers. sm 17 Choice of Entity – To be an S or not to be an S – That is the question  Historical role of Flow-Throughs and C corporations in the SBIC Industry  Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law Changes on the Choice of Entity  Analysis and Case Study of a Portfolio Operating Business and its Decision on Conversion  The 10 year Hang Over Effect of Converting From an S corporation to a C corporation  Washington and the Dilemma of Future Uncertainty
  • 18. real challenges. real answers. sm 18 Historical Role of Flow-Throughs and C Corporations in the SBIC Industry  Significance of portfolio entity type not as relevant if investment is debt rather than equity (including options/warrants)  Equity investments in flow-through entities – Generally more tax efficient due to single level tax – Requires tax distributions – Gap has closed due to rate changes – Complication for Tax Exempt Fund Investors – use of blocker C corporations (including limitations due to 25% / 50% ownership rules – UBIT)
  • 19. real challenges. real answers. sm 19 Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law Changes on the Choice of Entity  Historically, the tax code has been biased toward operating in pass-through form, but the Tax Act significantly reduced the disparity in effective tax rates.
  • 20. real challenges. real answers. sm 20 Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law Changes on the Choice of Entity, cont’d  Examples of businesses that may want to incorporate: – Businesses that reinvest most of their earnings. Corporate tax rate is now 21% whereas pass-through income is taxed at 29.6% to owner if a full QBI deduction is available, and 37% if no deduction is available.  E.g., assets light and labor light businesses; high tech business – Business whose shares may qualify as Section 1202 “Qualified Small Business Stock” – Businesses that can make use of nonqualified deferred compensation. – C Corporations with foreign sales or who own foreign subsidiaries.
  • 21. real challenges. real answers. sm 21 Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law Changes on the Choice of Entity, cont’d  CAVEAT: Once a business chooses to incorporate, changing back to pass-through form may cause gain recognition. – Corporation to partnership (legal partnership or LLC taxed as partnership): Gain recognized as if assets sold at fair value. – C Corporation to S Corporation: – All shareholders must be eligible shareholders. – One class of stock rule. – Corporate tax is levied on asset sales within 5 years of the election to the extent that unrealized built-in gains existed on the election date. – Accumulated earnings remain subject to double tax.
  • 22. real challenges. real answers. sm 22 Cumulative Impact of New Tax Law Changes on the Choice of Entity, cont’d  Examples of businesses that may wish to be organized in or remain in pass-through form: – Businesses that distribute most of their earnings. Effective federal tax rate to corporate shareholders is 39.8% whereas pass-through effective rate is 29.6% if a full QBI deduction is available.
