Despite their simplicity, stock purchases come with some downsides. Buyers lose many of the tax benefits that they can claim in an asset purchase. In addition to all of the desired assets and liabilities of the company theyre purchasing, they also assume ownership of all the unwanted assets and liabilities, as well.
In an asset sale, the ownership of these acquired assets would change hands, with the buyer negotiating separately for each asset. In a stock sale, ownership of such assets does not change hands in the same way. The target still retains its ownership typically, even if the target has a new owner.
There are also some potential drawbacks to issuing shares: diluted ownership. reduced control of your business. loss of privacy.
It simply states that you cant sell shares of stock or other securities for a loss and then buy substantially identical shares within 30 days before or after the sale (i.e., for a 61-day period, since you count the day of the sale). If you do, the loss is disallowed for tax purposes.
Profits from a stock are taxed as either short-term or long-term capital gains. Tax rates on long-term capital gains are usually lower than those on short-term capital gains. That can mean paying lower taxes and sometimes even no tax on profits.
