Seminar

This is a 1-day seminar (8 credits) led by Jon Sparkman, Esq. CPA, Maurice Gilbert, CPA, MST and Jason E. Cole, Esq., CPA. Topics include the four major taxes affecting businesses and their owners in NH: the Business Enterprise Tax (BET), the Business Profits Tax (BPT), the Interest & Dividends Tax (I&D), and the Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT). Topics involving the BET will include an overview of the components of the enterprise value tax base and the apportionment provisions for the BET. With respect to the BPT, topics include the nexus standard, definitions of business organization and business activity, the additions and deductions to federal taxable income including a brief overview of reasonable compensation and the combined reporting requirements for unitary businesses. The I & D segment of the seminar will include a review of the provisions relating to distributions from partnerships and limited liability companies and the importance of the definition of “transferrable interests” and the planning opportunities that result from the recent elimination of trust as taxpayers and trust distributions from the definition of dividend. The RETT discussion includes an overview of the provisions focusing on NH real estate companies and recent NH Court decisions that may provide some planning opportunities. Our instructors provide two separate ½ day seminars which examine in detail the NH Compensation Deduction and the combined reporting requirements.
