The complexities of FIRPTA and the even broader withholding scheme that backs it up require that a nonresident acquire a thorough understanding of the rules before making an investment in real estate. The choice of whether to use an entity—and which one—or to hold the investment directly, as well as the type of investment—equity or debt—can have significant and sometimes expensive consequences. Edited By Sanford H. Goldberg, J.D., and Herbert H. Alpert, J.D. The global economy is a fact of life at the start of the new millennium. One consequence is that cross-border investments in real estate will expand significantly...

...Course Schedule Course Modules Review and Practice Exam Preparation Resources Module 10: Transfers of property among family members Overview The transfer of property between persons not dealing at arm’s length is one of the elements that must be considered in taxation to ensure that there are no unexpected tax consequences. The ITA contains rules to prevent tax benefits inconsistent with the spirit of the ITA when people are not dealing with each other at arm’s length. These rules apply mainly where the beneficiary of the transfer or loan of property does not give the transferor sufficient consideration or there is an unacceptable attempt to split income. To reduce taxes on death, the situation can be planned by carrying out an estate freeze, which involves estimating the taxes payable on death and limiting them to this estimate. This module describes some different freezing techniques that are available. Module 10 focuses on (1) your technical knowledge in taxation, and (2) your professionalism in respect to the integrative approach. The technical material mainly focuses on the tax treatment of gifts and non-arm’s length transactions, the attribution rules that limit the ability to split income within a family unit to take advantage of the progressive tax rates, and the usefulness of the estate freeze mechanism for reducing taxes on transferring wealth to the next generation. From an integrative perspective, professionalism includes relations with...

...Project Research Essay Outline I. Topic II. Introduction A. What are the rules B. Who they apply to III. Body A. What is a PTP B. How it works C. Why it matters D. Examples of PTPs E. Benefits of PTP’s IV. Conclusion Publicly Traded Partnerships (PTPs) and the passive loss limitations According to the IRS Publication 925, there are two sets of rules that may limit the amount of deductive loss from a trade, business, rental, or other income producing activity. These rules apply to individuals, estates, trusts, personal service corporations and closely help corporations. When it comes to PTP the rules must be applied separate to income or loss from a passive activity. In this essay I will tell what a PTP is and I will also give examples of some PTP’s. I will also tell what benefits these PTP’s claims will result from their investments. A publicly traded partnership (PTP) is a partnership between limited partners who provide the capital for the company and the general partners who manage the company. Limited partnership shares in the company are publicly sold by the partnership, offering equal equity or dividends of a public traded company. The publicly traded partnership must withhold tax on any actual distributions of money or property to foreign partners Real estate, energy (including alternative energy fuels), transportation and commodities are some of the PTP’s that the IRS restricts to limited partners. This matters because...

...touch and concern the land. 3. It must be intended to run. 4. There must be privity between the successive occupants. 5. There must be notice of the existence of a real covenant/equitable servitude. Privity is the legal term for a close, mutual, or successive relationship to the same right of property or the power to enforce a promise or warranty. It is an important concept in contract law. An equitable servitude is a term used in the law of real property to describe a nonpossessory interest in land that operates much like a covenant running with the land. However, covenants and equitable servitudes should not be confused. One may tell the difference based on the remedy plaintiff seeks. Holders of a covenant seek money damages, but holders of equitable servitudes seek injunctions. “four unities” 1) Time: Both parties must have received the property at the same time 2) Title: Both parties must have received the property via the same written instrument 3) Interest: Both parties must own the same estate in the property 4) Possession: Each must have a full and equal right to possess the property “right of survivorship”; When one joint tenant dies, the other takes over his or her share McGahey v.
