Congress Offers A New Path For Angel Investors

Congress has recently made changes benefiting angel investors, likely to improve the returns on their investment portfolios through tax relief. The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH) addresses the taxability of investments made in Corporations offering Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS).

The Internal Revenue Code defines the requirements for making investment in your business as offering QSBS to angel investors for capital investment. The most important aspect of PATH to an angel investor is excluding the investment from the Alternative Minimum Tax thereby removing the investment from being taxes at the federal level. Gaining a QSBS status for your offering will make investing in your business very attractive to angel investors and allow you to raise money for your business.
