Opportunity Zones
About Opportunity Zones
An Opportunity Zone is a low-income community where new investments may be eligible for preferential tax treatment. Localities qualify as Opportunity Zones if they have been nominated for that designation by the state and that nomination has been certified by the Secretary of the U.S. Treasury.
The Opportunity Zone program enables investors with capital gains tax liabilities to receive favorable tax treatment for investing in Opportunity Funds certified by the U.S. Treasury. Opportunity Funds provide investors with tax deferral options and potentially permanent exclusion from the taxable income of capital gains.
