This week, the SPACInsider Podcast delves into some of the tax and accounting issues that SPAC teams should be considering as we approach both the Presidential election and the end of 2024.
Mark Deters and Ryan Bixenman, partners at WithumSmith+Brown, join us to help break it all down.
For example, what does it mean for SPACs searching overseas if Trump enacts a wide range of tariffs? What about the excise tax on SPAC redemptions if Kamala Harris wins and raises it to 4%? Will this result in increased SPAC liquidations before the end of 2024?
Mark and Ryan discuss these considerations and more as we approach the end of the tax year and what further changes might be in store.
Give it a listen.
