Proposed Capital Gains Tax Changes’ Impact on MSR

The recent proposed long-term capital gains tax increase, from 20% to 39.6% for individuals making over $1 million, will have a direct effect on the MSR market. Although, if passed, the increase will not take effect until 2022, we are urging our clients to review their positions and consider the impact of the benefit of holding a year and a day going away. Tax implications on a sale could potentially double.
 
We understand this change is in the proposal stage, but think it is prudent to review your positions now. MCT is not a tax professional. Please consult your accountant or tax firm for their guidance.
 
As a course of action, if you start to consider the impact of this change on your portfolio please contact us. MCT will help you sort out the impact, current value and assist in a course of action.

MCT provides summary tables of major characteristics as well as key risk factors in your MSR portfolio so you can make educated decisions on whether to release or retain.
