Book Synopsis Investment in Housing in the United States by : Krister Andersson
Download or read book Investment in Housing in the United States written by Krister Andersson and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1990-10-01 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that the preferential tax treatment of housing induces an inefficient allocation of saving and investment. This paper analyzes, in a portfolio framework, how eliminating the deductibility of mortgage interest payments for federal income tax purposes might affect investment in housing. Expected rate of return and risk is estimated for three assets, bonds, housing, and stocks. The possibility that assets are imperfect substitutes is explicitly recognized in one section of the paper. The model suggests that the share of housing is likely to decrease by 4 to 9 percentage points if mortgage interest payments are not deductible. This may call for careful phasing of the change in policy.
Book Synopsis Optimal Capital Income Taxation with Housing by : Makoto Nakajima

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper quantitatively investigates the optimal capital income taxation in the general equilibrium overlapping generations model, which incorporates characteristics of housing and the U.S. preferential tax treatment for owner-occupied housing. Housing tax policy is found to have a substantial effect on how capital income should be taxed. Given the U.S. preferential tax treatment for owner-occupied housing, the optimal capital income tax rate is close to zero, contrary to the high optimal capital income tax rate implied by models without housing. A lower capital income tax rate implies a narrowed tax wedge between housing and non-housing capital, which indirectly nullifies the subsidies (taxes) for homeowners (renters) and corrects the over-investment to housing.

Book Synopsis Taxes and the User Cost of Capital for Owner-occupied Housing by : Patric H. Hendershott
Download or read book Taxes and the User Cost of Capital for Owner-occupied Housing written by Patric H. Hendershott and published by . This book was released on 1982 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owner-occupied housing is said to be favored in the tax code because mortgage interest and property taxes can be deducted in the computation of one's income tax base in spite of the fact that the returns from owner- occupied housing = not taxed. The special tax treatment reduces the user cost of capital for owner-occupied homing. The issue treated in this paper is the measurement of the tax rate to be employed in the user cost calculations. It is argued that different tax rates am appropriate for the tenure choice and quantity-demanded decisions, and that these values depend on the detailed tax position of the household and the method of finance. Average 1977 tax rates for households in different income ranges are calculated using the NBER TAXSIM microeconomic data file on individual tax returns.

Book Synopsis Income Tax Provisions Affecting Owner-occupied Housing by : James M. Poterba
Download or read book Income Tax Provisions Affecting Owner-occupied Housing written by James M. Poterba and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mortgage interest deduction, the property tax deduction, the unique treatment of capital gains on owner-occupied homes, and the absence of taxation on imputed rent from owner-occupied homes all influence the effective cost of housing services. They also affect federal income tax revenues and the distribution of income tax liabilities. We draw on household-level data from the 2004 Survey of Consumer Finances to analyze how several potential reforms would affect incentives for housing consumption as well as the distribution of income tax burdens. Our analysis recognizes that changing the mortgage interest deduction would induce changes in household financial behavior. We estimate that repealing the mortgage interest deduction in 2003 would have raised income tax revenues by $72.4 billion in the absence of any portfolio adjustments, but by only $61.9 billion if homeowners responded by drawing down a limited set of financial assets to partially replace their mortgage debt. The revenue effects of changing the property tax deduction similarly depend on how state and local governments alter their mix of revenue instruments in response to federal tax reform. Our results underscore the importance of recognizing behavioral responses when calculating the revenue costs of income tax provisions relating to owner-occupied housing.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The maxim “my house is my castle” encapsulates what may be described as “the Castle Doctrine”, which views an owner-occupier's house as a unique type of property worthy of special policy and legal consideration. Legislative privileging of the owner-occupied house is manifest, inter alia, in national and local taxation. However, rather than the house, it is the home, principally a psychological concept, which might warrant policymakers' and legislators' attention because of its presumed contribution to human wellbeing. In this scheme, ownership of the occupied property is a secondary consideration so that, to the extent practicable, owner-occupiers and tenants should be treated evenly. Since local authority rates are the only tax specifically levied on real property in New Zealand, a principal question this article seeks to answer is how such even-handedness might play out in the field of local taxation. The article, which has a particular contextual focus on Auckland, where a housing shortage is acute, is structured as follows. First, the concept of home is outlined. Following Margaret Radin's distinction, the possibility of the space identified as home being personhood, rather than fungible, property is considered. Second, the benefits of owner-occupation are discussed with a focus on tax privileges. Third, the nature of local authority rating is considered. Different classes of ratepayer are identified in order to reveal inequitable treatment of these different classes. Fourth, the issues of local authorities' inability to achieve equity outcomes and of efficiency are noted. Finally, conclusions are drawn.

Book Synopsis The Income Tax Penalty on Rental Vs Owner-Occupied Housing by : David Geltner
Download or read book The Income Tax Penalty on Rental Vs Owner-Occupied Housing written by David Geltner and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper presents a novel analysis of the differential incidence and effect of Federal income tax policy on owner-occupied and rental housing in the U.S. The objective is to examine whether, and how, rental housing is penalized relative to owner-occupied housing, and if so to estimate the magnitude of any such penalty that is caused by Federal income tax policy. The findings of the analysis suggest that a penalty does exist on rental housing relative to owner-occupied housing, and that the magnitude is substantial. On a present value capitalized basis the relative penalty is likely on the order of one-quarter the value of the housing. The model presented in this paper is novel in that it applies the basic tenets of modern corporate finance theory to identify the sources and magnitude of the differential tax impact. The causes of the differential impact that are thusly identified suggest a policy remedy that differs from the one traditionally proposed, which is simply to eliminate the home mortgage interest tax deduction. Instead, the analysis herein suggests that the home mortgage tax deduction is not the source of the differential tax impact (for one thing, interest on mortgages financing rental apartments is also deductible from the landlord's taxable income, and for another, lenders providing the mortgage capital are generally taxable investors on the margin). Rather, the model presented here implies that the more direct and appropriate policy remedy would be to allow apartment investment income to be deductible from taxable income. This could also be a more politically feasible policy than to remove the mortgage deduction.

Book Synopsis Taxation and Housing by : James M. Poterba
Download or read book Taxation and Housing written by James M. Poterba and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper sketches how the tax reforms of the 1980s affected the incentives and distortions associated with tax policy toward housing markets. There are three principal conclusions. (1) Reductions in marginal tax rates, particularly for high-income households, reduced the tax-induced distortion in the user cost of owner-occupied housing. This lowered the deadweight losses associated with the favorable tax treatment of homeownership. (2) The increase in the standard deduction in the Tax Reform Act of 1986 (TRA86) removed several million middle-income homeowners who previously itemized from the ranks of itemizers. For these households TRA86 raised the marginal cost of owner-occupied housing. These changes also exacerbated the regressive nature of the mortgage interest subsidy. In 1988, more than half of the tax losses associated with mortgage interest deductions accrued to the 8% of taxpayers with the highest economic incomes. (3) TRA86 reduced incentives for rental housing investment, contributing to the decline in new multifamily housing starts from 500,000 per year in 1985 to less than 150,000 in 1991. In the long-run these policies will lead to higher rents.
Book Synopsis Tax Treatment of Owner Occupied Housing and Wealth Inequality by : Sang-Wook (Stanley) Cho
Download or read book Tax Treatment of Owner Occupied Housing and Wealth Inequality written by Sang-Wook (Stanley) Cho and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the U.S., mortgage interest deductibility provides a financial incentive for home ownership over renting as well as an incentive to 'over-consume' housing since houses are not fungible. Home-ownership is also often promoted as a safe means of wealth creation. We construct and calibrate a quantitative general equilibrium lifecycle model with home-ownership and mortgage decisions to investigate the degree to which the wealth inequality in the United States is driven by the home mortgage interest deduction and the untaxed nature of imputed rents from owner-occupied housing. As the tax treatment of housing will disproportionately create tax savings for the top deciles of the income distribution, we quantify how the tax deductibility contributes to the heavily skewed distribution of wealth in the United States using data from the Survey of Consumer Finances. Although the tax treatment of owner occupied housing alone is unlikely to produce the extreme wealth concentration at the far right tail of the distribution, we argue that it is re-enforced by a bequest motive. We find that removing mortgage interest deductibility and taxing imputed rents reduces the Gini coefficient by 0.04 points, caused by a re-allocation of wealth from the top 10 percentiles to the bottom 50 percentiles of the wealth distribution.
