December 8th, 2009 by Sam Smith

Accruit’s new Channel 1031 series recently spent a few minutes talking with our friend, noted finance and leasing industry expert Joe Lane, about the implications of the newly enacted NOL carryback legislation. Joe was pretty positive about the impact of the law, concluding that we have more reason for optimism than we’ve had in quite some time.

Here are a few of the highlights of the interview:

  • Detailed overview of what exactly the law does
  • Impact:
    • $33.2B in immediate tax relief
    • NOL relief = 53K+ jobs in construction
    • May prevent 7,900+ business failures
    • Create 230,000 jobs outside Construction sectors
  • Cost/benefit analysis vs. 20-year horizon
  • Industries and types of business that will benefit most significantly
  • Carry-forward implications
  • Like-Kind Exchanges: double-barreled benefit
  • Advice for leasing enterprises
