CRI in Shreveport is continuing its efforts to educate investors, developers, real estate professionals, architects, and contractors on Opportunity Zones with a free webinar this week.
A complimentary live webinar will be held from 10-11 a.m., Aug. 29, to navigate the ins and outs of the Qualified Opportunity Zones tax incentive.
The webinar is a follow up to the meetings and conferences hosted by CRI office in Shreveport over the past six months.
Opportunity Zone investments, the new tax incentive added by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, could be the most significant tax break in decades for taxpayers.
The Opportunity Zone program provides federal tax incentives for investing capital gains in Qualified Opportunity Zones but offering the deferral, reduction, and potential exclusion of tax on future capital gains.
The program is designed to drive long-term investment to low-income communities in need of revitalization.
