A business memo is an informal and public communication intended for communicating regarding a topic to colleagues and employees of your organization.
The information that you will require for outlining the content about QOF is as follows:
QOF may be single asset or multi asset. It enables taxpayer discretion and control over investment decisions, may be associated with lower risk compared to any other funds.
QOF in year 1: has a tax basis of $0 that means OZ fund is sold in this year, then the investor would pay tax on $100X. In Year 5 , the fund is increased by $10x and if teh investor sells at this point, the tax that has to be paid is on $90x as 90% is deferred captial gains tax. Now in Year 7, the fund has increased by an additional $5x and if the investor ells the QOF, then tax is applicable only on $85X instead of $100x as 85% is the deferred captial gains tax.If the QOF is sold >10 years, then there is no taxes payable on the appreciation of the fund.
Hope this guides you in answering the question.
