    This new program/tool ​​provides tax incentives, including a temporary deferral on capital gains taxes, when investors reinvest those gains in qualified Opportunity Funds. The funds must in turn invest in low-income communities in designated census tracts, called Opportunity Zones.

    The law allowed the Governor of each state to nominate up to 25 percent of eligible low-income census tracts as Opportunity Zones.

    The United States Department of the Treasury will develop rules regarding the qualifications required for Opportunity Funds and eligible investments.
