Tax-Free Exchanges: Levine Staller assists clients in structuring tax-free exchanges of business and investment property. So long as it is properly structured, the “like-kind exchange” provisions contained in Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code allows businesses and individual investors to defer gained recognition on the disposition of eligible property. Under Section 1031, property used in a trade or business, or held for investment, can be exchanged tax-free for property of “like kind” that will also be used in the trade or business, or be held for investment. The successful implementation of these transactions requires high levels of experience, knowledge, and technical tax skills.
