Tax Reform and Organizational Forms for Holding Investment Real Estate: Corporation vs. Partnership
研究了1986年税制改革如何影响房地产投资的组织形式选择,发现改革后公司制比合伙制更有利于持有产生大额税收损失或税收抵免的房地产投资。
Following the ERTA of 1981, partnership ownership of real estate dominated corporate ownership. This study concludes that the Tax Reform Act of 1986 provides incentive for holding real estate investments that produce sizable tax losses and/or that are eligible for large tax credits in corporate rather than partnership form. Perpetuity cash flow models are employed initially to identify key tax and cash flow variables favorable to each organizational form. The perpetuity assumption is then relaxed to consider a more representative real estate investment. A sensitivity analysis examines the extent to which the base case results are dependent on the assumed values of selected model parameters.
