U.S. Economy
Over the past two weeks there has been a lot of news about President Biden’s $1.8 Trillion proposal to solve for a growing deficit in the U.S. budget and to provide stimulus and aid for most Americans.
It is a robust plan, but will needs funding – where will the money come from? Taxes.
Catherine Lucey and Richard Rubin of the Wall Street Journal reported on April 28. 2021:
“To pay for the new programs, the administration proposes raising the top income-tax rate to 39.6% from 37%. For households making more than $1 million, Mr. Biden would also raise the top rate on capital-gains and dividends to 39.6% from 20%. Including existing payroll and investment taxes—each 3.8%—the top rates on wages and capital gains would reach 43.4%, up from 23.8%.” (See Full Article Here)
Last week when this information began to trickle into the market, it triggered a massive selloff in stocks. Investors wanted to go ahead and lock in their gains at the current, lower tax rates that what is expected around the bend.

What Does This Mean for YOU?
We have said it before (See article here), but if you are considering a sale of your business in the next 3 years, you need to strongly consider a sale this year. By our calculations, assuming multiples remain the same, you will need to grow your EBITDA by close to 20% year over year to net the same after-tax proceeds when comparing a sale in 2020 compared to a sale in 2021 (assuming Biden’s tax changes occur effective January 1, 2022).
If you are thinking about selling your large practice or group in the next 3-5 years, we strongly recommend that you connect with us today to allow us to work through a complimentary evaluation for you and provide you a Clear Price where we are certain that your deal will trade at or above.
We are hosting a webinar on this topic Tuesday, May 18, 2021. Join us to learn more. In the interim, if you want to connect with us, you can book a call with us here: Book A Call with TUSK!
