It may be in your best interest to accelerate the sale of your business to this coming year. We are expecting the Bush era tax rates enacted in 2001 and 2003 to expire in the next 12-18 months and a new tax of 3.8%(part of the affordable health care act) will be layered on top of the capital gains rate for single taxpayers with income over $200,000 (and income over $250,000 for married taxpayers). The combined effect will increase your federal long terms capital gains rate from 15% to 23.8%: more than a 50% increase!
