As part of President Biden’s legislative agenda, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 becomes law. Among the policies enacted, a new excise tax is imposed on stock repurchases – with bipartisan support, ESOPs were specifically excluded from this tax, protecting the ESOP structure that relies on stock repurchases and creating a new incentive to form ESOPs. ESOPs become eligible transactions under the State Small Business Credit Initiative (SSBCI) loan program.

The ESOP Association Hails Senate Passage of Critical Provisions in Reconciliation Bill

The Senate-passed reconciliation bill in Congress, titled the Inflation Reduction Act (H.R. 5376), includes language promoted by The ESOP Association to protect employee stock ownership plans from new excise taxes on stock repurchases.  This provision potentially paves the way for a tremendous financial incentive to form employee stock ownership plans.
