Because of his success, Tyson has been an absentee business owner since April 21st, 2018, which has allowed him to get back to his passion—taking care of the fatherless. Just after Christmas 2019, Tyson spent three weeks in Africa helping non-profits in the region.

About Opportunity Zones
With the 2017 Jobs Act, The new IRS Tax rule changes have been enabled to give an additional tax break called "Opportunity Zones" where businesses can provide new tax breaks to accredited capital gain investors that are investing in them. The tax rules that the IRS has laid out with regard to Opportunity Zones have been both complex and evolving as they have been updating these rules ever since they were originally announced as part of the 2017 tax rule changes.
The IRS has officially designated over 8,000 Opportunity Zones all across the 50 United States, Puerto Rico and many other U.S. Territories, as qualified Opportunity Zones that can take advantage of this program under certain rules and guidelines of the 2017 IRS Tax law. CEO and Business owners have seen "Opportunity Zones" as a way for their clients to both reduce and postpone (5 year - 10%) their current capital gain tax requirements, and in many cases completely eliminate their future capital gains taxes on their new OZ Fund investment (While holding it for 10 years). Additionally, accredited investors who are taking profits from their real estate or stock sales, can also take advantage of these "Opportunity Zone" tax benefits, as long as they are invested in a qualified opportunity zone fund investment.
If you're wondering what the capital gains tax rate 2020 is, ReVive can help with that & long-term capital gains tax and short-term capital gains tax. Capital gains tax rate could be changing and capital gains tax and capital gains can now be invested in Qualified Opportunity Zone Funds, like ReVive Opportunity Zone Fund.
Who will benefit the most from Opportunity Zones?
A qualified accredited investor who has just made a Real Estate or stock sale and has a current capital gain tax issue. If the accredited investor invests it all its capital gains in a Qualified Opportunity investment fund, by holding their investment in the Qualified Opportunity Zone Fund for 5 years; they will get a 10% reduction in the capital gains , they can postpone paying this capital gains tax for 6 years and if they hold the capital gains investment in the Revive Fund for 10 years or more, they will not have to pay capital gains on the future profits and capital gains from this new investment. This is a significant savings when you analyze it against a typical 1031 exchange in Real Estate. 1031 have currently not been available to non-real estate capital gains (i.e. Stock Sales).
If you are wondering what you can do with a 1031 exchange or how the 1031 exchange rules apply, ReVive Opportunity Zone Fund utilizes ways to take the 1031 tax exchange and allows you to invest in opportunity zones and receive additional tax benefits above the 1031 exchange.
