Here's What's Happening In The Market, Here’s What This Means For You
House Tax Plans Lessen Pain for CRE Investors
Recent moves in Congress and the White House seemed to close doors on tax benefits for commercial real estate. But while a new proposal from House Ways and Means Committee chair Richard Neal does mean higher taxes, it would also temper some potential pain.
Long-term capital gain rates are currently slated to increase from 20% to 25%, or 28.8% including [an additional] net investment income tax, which to some might see as a relief since the original proposal had indicated these rates would increase to ordinary rates for high earners. Ordinary rates meaning a top 39.6% for individuals making more than $1 million a year that the Biden administration had proposed.
Something to remember, though, is that any such proposal is just that. With the need to pass the measure in the House, where some of the softening may not be popular, and to reconcile that version with the Senate, there’s no way to tell yet what might happen.
