Bill Summary
This bill excludes the gains on sales of certain real estate purchases from taxation under the corporation business tax and gross income tax to stimulate real estate sales. The exclusions apply to gains on the sales of certain land purchased by the taxpayer during the three year period beginning on the date of enactment of this bill and ending on that same calendar date three years later. The exclusions apply to investment property that is not occupied by the taxpayer. Vacant land, land in its unimproved state and idle land not actively used for agriculture or other purposes, are not eligible for the exclusion. If this investment property is held for more than two years before it is sold, then any gain on the sale is excluded from the income subject to the corporation business tax or the gross income tax.
AI Summary
This bill aims to encourage real estate sales by excluding certain gains from taxation under both the corporation business tax and the gross income tax. Specifically, it applies to gains from the sale of "eligible real estate" – property not occupied by the taxpayer, which excludes vacant or idle land but includes land in an approved subdivision actively being sold or held for sale. To qualify for this tax exclusion, the eligible real estate must have been purchased by the taxpayer within a three-year window starting from the bill's enactment date and held for more than two years before being sold. The bill also references federal Internal Revenue Code rules for determining how long a property has been held, and for inherited or transferred property, it allows the holding period of the previous owner to be counted.
