Trump's tax plan and Qualified Opportunity Zone changee

The landscape for Qualified Opportunity Zone (QOZ) investments has fundamentally shifted thanks to the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act. This legislation not only makes the opportunity zone program permanent, it also introduces significant structural changes, enhanced reporting requirements, and new compliance penalties. The Joint Tax Committee estimates the OZ provisions will reduce federal revenues by $40.9 billion between 2025 and 2034, reflecting both the program's extension and enhanced rural incentives.
