Would someone please clarify the following?
I am learning about PPP and do not understand how the tax effect of the profits fits in with the requirement to use most of the profits in a humanitarian project.
Assume I invest $100M in a PPP and generate profits. Those profits are taxable to a US citizen and will be around 35-40% (ord inc or ST cap gain). That leaves 60% left and a requirement to invest most of the profits in a hum. project.
Is the requirement to invest in a humanitarian project determined on a net basis (net of tax)? Otherwise, if the gross amount of the profits are invested in a hum. project, where are the funds sufficient to pay the taxes? Please advise if you can help.
Lastly, should I assume that a US citizen is paying a 35% tax on this income as it is trade profits from buy-sell transactions.
Thank you.
Boaz
