The webinar "Recent Tax Legislation and its Impact," conducted by Sudhir Amembal, CEO of Amembal & Halladay, held on Aug. 12 was attended by over 250 industry professionals. Beyond communicating the obvious changes brought about in the One Big Beautiful Bill, Amembal presented the impact of these changes on customers, financiers and the equipment finance products offered in our industry. He opined that the upcoming CAPEX uptick would benefit both non-tax lease products such as EFAs and Capital Leases as well as the true lease -- the FMV Lease.

In doing so, Amembal concluded that the recent changes create a tax puzzle for a large number of customers who have to juggle a host of quantitative variables such as taxable income, NOL complexities and the limitation on business interest expense, along with a host of non-tax considerations in deciding which equipment finance product best suits them; and the puzzle presents an opportunity for financiers to add value by assisting their customers in providing the most appropriate solution.

Amembal stated, "I was delighted that this webinar, the first-ever offered in our industry on this topic, attracted a large number of industry professionals. Tax ramifications are important but the equipment product of choice must take into account a host of other non-tax factors, primarily the unique benefits inherent in the FMV Lease."

Given the significance and the impact of recent tax legislation and given the robust attendance at the webinar, Amembal will host the free webinar again on Sept. 24.
