Corporations provide for long-term capital gains on exit as opposed to ordinary income from operating partnerships. There is essentially a 17% tax exposure that can be avoided if structured correctly. Today the top U.S. tax rate for an individual is 37% for ordinary income and currently 20% for long term-capital gains. Under the Biden Administration, the top individual rate is expected to climb back up to the 39.6%. Typically, VC funds’ exit strategies are to sell the stock and not receive dividends from earnings.

This is a per-issuer limitation on eligible gain. In order to qualify for the QSBS exclusion, the small business stock needs to be held for more than five years and must be acquired upon original issuance for cash, for property not including stock, for services, or in certain circumstances by inheritance. The other conditions that must be met include the following:
