16. Specific lobbying issues
Tax Reform
Promoted comprehensive approach to tax reform that avoids enacting reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-through entities or otherwise disadvantaging multifamily real estate relative to other asset classes. Support maintaining current law regarding: (1) the tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (while also increasing program resources) and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013; (5) Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5-year depreciation period for multifamily buildings; (7) depreciation recapture; and (8) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. We oppose proposals increasing taxes on capital gains. Finally, we favor: (1) repealing or reforming FIRPTA rules to incent foreign investment in U.S. real estate; and (2) expanding incentives for energy efficiency in commercial buildings (e.g., Internal Revenue Code Section 179D).
