Company has 10 million in cash. Can you...

Sell the shares for 150 million and some how
Pay only long term cap gain on that cash,
Or do u distribute it to share holders and
Pay ordinary tax rate in the 35percent range
Vs 15 percent?

Suggestions?

Isn't the dividend tax rate still at 15%? Why not pay a 1x dividend?

The cash should be irrelevant to taxes. I hope this isnt the way the question is worded.. If you sell the company for 150 million then the cash on hand and from the sale would be distributed to the stockholders. The cash onhand could be rolled into the stock sale but either way the Tax will be based on the profit made from the sale..

This, most likely.

However, if you have a business worth that much, you should get a real accounting firm that will answer questions like this.

Cheaping out on accountant is a bad idea.

Sounds like you need to be getting some of that invested.
