Proposed changes to curtail estate valuations made the list of top 10 important tax changes from 2016 that will carry over into this year. The proposed regulations under Section 2704 concern the valuation of interests in corporations and partnerships for estate, gift, and generation-skipping transfer tax purposes. Other changes carried over from 2016 include likely tax cuts under the Trump administration, debt/equity reclassification, BEPS (transfer pricing), and closer scrutiny of the sharing economy. You can see the full list in a slideshow from Accounting Today.
