M&A Weekly Digest – Jan. 18, 2013

January 18, 2013 By Editor

In this week’s edition of the M&A digest we discuss what’s up next for private business owners now that the Fiscal Cliff has been averted, the insourcing economic trend and how it affects manufacturers, and the future of the capital gains tax. 

The Fiscal Cliff Averted – Now What For Private Business Owners?

“The news on Jan. 2, as you well know, was good. Through last minute wrangling, the so-called Fiscal Cliff was averted. Agreement was reached on tax increases for the wealthy and a number of other issues. The significant impact of tax increases on everyone and required spending cuts were both avoided. Or were they? Essentially the agreement postpones the most painful issues we face: spending cuts and the debt ceiling.”

Economic Trends – Insourcing and What It Means To Manufacturers

“A few weeks ago we published an article that examined some very positive long-term news regarding the country’s eventual position as a leader in oil and gas production, which would reduce our dependence on foreign sources of oil over time. Now we have come across another trend that bodes well for the U.S. economically: the ‘insourcing’ of manufacturing jobs.”

Capital Gains Taxes – Beyond 2013

“The agreement reached by Congress a few weeks ago to avoid the tax implications of the Fiscal Cliff finally provided the business community with some clarity on taxes for 2013. The American Taxpayer Relief Act (ATRA) addressed the tax components (revenue) side of the equation, but decisions regarding the spending side will be delayed for two months.

As the search for new revenue expands, how high could capital gains taxes go? And what implication does that have for owners of privately held companies?”
