An eye to the tax man: Do forest owners understand tax provisions?

Abstract

In the March 2004 issue of Forest Products Equipment, Thom J. McEvoy noted that, "stumpage buyers who are able to brief prospective clients on the tax implications of a pending sale are often far more likely to win a client's business than even buyers who offer higher stumpage rates." This is because woodland owners know that it is after-tax profit that is important. Tax savings can easily make a bid more competitive.
