  • Capital Gains) and Schedule E (Rents, Royalties, Partnership
    Study of Schedule D (Capital Gains) and Schedule E (Rents, Royalties, Partnership) Income Reported on Individual Income Tax Returns Tax Years 2002 - 2006 Montana Department of Revenue Office of Tax Policy and Research Spring, 2010 Schedule D and Schedule E Income Study History and Background PART A – CAPITAL GAINS Introduction In fiscal year 2007, individual income taxes contributed nearly half (45%) of Montana’s total general fund revenue. For tax year 2006, Montanans reported over $2 billion of income from capital gains; that’s just over 10% of all income reported on tax forms in that year. One-quarter of all taxpayers reported capital gains income. Notwithstanding the significant role of capital gains in state revenues and taxpayers’ incomes, little is known about the composition of assets from which capital gains income arises, how this composition changes over time, and the relationships between capital gains income and the state’s economy. This study hopes to shed light on these and other matters surrounding capital gains income, and provide a base of information for subsequent research. While capital gains also play a role in the state’s corporation license tax, the focus here is entirely on the individual income tax. What are Capital Assets and Capital Gains? How are They Taxed?1 Generally speaking, capital gains refers to the net income received from the sale of capital assets. For tax purposes, an asset is considered a “capital asset” unless it is specifically identified as not being a capital asset. Supplies and inventories, accounts receivable related to inventory, depreciable business property, real property used in a trade or business, and certain copyrights comprise the bulk of assets not considered to be capital assets.2 Among other things, capital assets include land; a taxpayer’s principal residence; stocks, bonds, and other securities; livestock and timber; and collectibles, including art, antiques, and historical artifacts.

  • Taxation of Owner-Occupied and Rental Housing
    Working Paper Series Congressional Budget Office Washington, D.C. Taxation of Owner-Occupied and Rental Housing Larry Ozanne Congressional Budget Office [email protected] November 2012 Working Paper 2012-14 To enhance the transparency of the work of the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and to encourage external review of that work, CBO’s working paper series includes both papers that provide technical descriptions of official CBO analyses and papers that represent independent research by CBO analysts. Working papers are not subject to CBO’s regular review and editing process. Papers in this series are available at http://go.usa.gov/ULE. The views expressed in this paper are the author’s and should not be interpreted as CBO’s. This paper is preliminary and is circulated to stimulate discussion and critical comment. David Splinter and Theodore Figinski helped design and implement the calculator used in the paper and provided many helpful suggestions, for which the author offers thanks. The author also thanks Janet Holtzblatt, Frank Sammartino, and Steven Weinberg for helpful comments and suggestions. Abstract This paper illustrates how the different tax treatments of owner-occupied and rented houses affect the relative costs of owning and renting. In the examples, a representative landlord computes the rental rate (the ratio of the rent to the value of the house) required to break even on an investment in a house. Potential homeowners compare that market rental rate as a tenant with an implicit rental rate that reflects the cost of owning a home. The tax advantages tend to make owning more advantageous than renting for higher-income households, but lower-income households can find renting cheaper than owning.

  • ACCOUNTING of RESULTS of RENT RELATIONS Serhii Bardash1, Tetiana Osadcha2
    Baltic Journal of Economic Studies Vol. 4, No. 4, 2018 DOI: https://doi.org/10.30525/2256-0742/2018-4-4-24-32 ACCOUNTING OF RESULTS OF RENT RELATIONS Serhii Bardash1, Tetiana Osadcha2 Abstract. In the conditions of the implementation of the concept of sustainable development, the study of accounting reflection of the results of rent relations becomes relevant in view of solving a number of strategic tasks that today face economic entities. The solution to this problem is proposed on the basis of the definition in the system of accounting concepts of economic nature of results of rent relations arising owing to the involvement of renting factors in the economic process. The purpose of the research is to determine the formulation of proposals for the accounting reflection of the results of rental relations. The methodological basis of the study is the historical and logical method used to study the evolution of rent and approaches to the disclosure of its economic meaning. The dialectical method and comparative analysis are used to identify significant differences in the definition of rent, formed at different stages and forms of economic relations. Methods of analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, abstraction, idealization, and generalization are used to identify the results of rent relations in the system of accounting concepts and the formulation of proposals for accounting rent and rent payments. Scientific results. Based on the critical assessment of the plurality of researchers’ opinions regarding the disclosure of the economic content of the rent, it has been established that: the rent is an integral part of the value added, but the added value in the accounting system is not accounted; the rent is a component of the income from operating activities carried out with the use or exploitation of limited natural resources; the complication of the previous value appraisal of rent makes it impossible to reflect it as a part of income; the amount of rent depends on the demand for the goods.
