Manhattan Office Market
Manhattan Off ce Market 3 RD QUARTER 2016 REPORT A NEWS RECAP AND MARKET SNAPSHOT Pictured: 200 Park Avenue South Looking Ahead Tax Plan Proposal Could Potentially Help Leveraged RE Firms An emerging tax plan proposed by Republican candidate Donald Trump could reportedly benef t debt-laden real estate companies by coupling 2-policies — letting businesses deduct interest and allowing expensing, or immediate write-offs, for investments in equipment and buildings. The proposal would “provide negative tax rates for investments f nanced with debt, creating incentives for companies to pursue projects that wouldn’t make sense economically without the tax benef ts.” Currently tax law requires businesses to spread the deductions over multiple years, but under Trump’s proposed plan “a business would be able to generate signif cant losses in the f rst year of an investment and then generate ongoing interest deductions. Those losses could be carried forward and used to offset future income.” It is reportedly the intended goal of the tax plan, which is still a work-in-progress, to “tie expensing to job creation and new investment and not, for example, purchases of existing leveraged real estate portfolios,” according to reported comments by a Trump advisor. Interest Deductions: The pairing of an end to interest deductions and expensing is typically done to prevent giving an extra subsidy according to some sources, however it is anticipated that the taking away of interest deductibility would make it hard for businesses to capitalize; and with that in mind Trump had proposed an unspecif ed “reasonable cap” in an earlier proposed tax plan.
