Tax Reform During the tax reform debate, we promoted a comprehensive approach to tax reform that avoids enacting reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-through entities or otherwise disadvantaging multifamily real estate relative to other asset classes. We supported maintaining prior law regarding: (1) the tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (while also increasing program resources) and tax-exempt multifamily housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013; (5) Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5-year depreciation period for multifamily buildings (we also support reducing the depreciation period of multifamily buildings to 19 years, their economic life); (7) depreciation recapture; and (8) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. We opposed proposals increasing taxes on capital gains.

Specific lobbying issues Tax Reform Promoted comprehensive approach to tax reform that avoids enacting reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-through entities or otherwise disadvantaging multifamily real estate relative to other asset classes. Support maintaining current law regarding: (1) the tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (while also increasing program resources) and tax-exempt multifamily housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013; (5) Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5-year depreciation period for multifamily buildings (we also support reducing the depreciation period of multifamily buildings to 19 years, their economic life); (7) depreciation recapture; and (8) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. We oppose proposals increasing taxes on capital gains. Finally, we favor: (1) allowing business income of multifamily pass-through entities to fully qualify for any future lower pass-through tax rate; (2) repealing or reforming FIRPTA rules to incent foreign investment in U.S. real estate; and (3) expanding incentives for energy efficiency in commercial buildings (e.g., Internal Revenue Code Section 179D).

We oppose proposals increasing taxes on capital gains.

Tax Reform Promoted comprehensive approach to tax reform that avoids enacting reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-through entities or otherwise disadvantaging multifamily real estate relative to other asset classes. Support maintaining current law regarding: (1) the tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (while also increasing program resources) and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013; (5) Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5-year depreciation period for multifamily buildings; (7) depreciation recapture; and (8) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. We oppose proposals increasing taxes on capital gains. Finally, we favor: (1) repealing or reforming FIRPTA rules to incent foreign investment in U.S. real estate; and (2) expanding incentives for energy efficiency in commercial buildings (i.e., Internal Revenue Code Section 179D).

Tax reform: We advocated for the following priorities as Congress considers tax reform: We asked that Congress take a comprehensive approach to tax reform and not enact reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-through entities, including partnerships, S Corporations, and LLCs. We also asked policymakers not to tax flow-through entities with revenues over certain thresholds as C Corporations or to pass legislation that would disadvantage real estate relative to other industries.We also favor maintaining current law regarding: (1) the tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013 that feature a $5 million exemption, 40 percent top rate, and retention of stepped-up basis; (5) Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; and (6) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. We also favor: (1) loosening FIRPTA rules to incent foreign investment in U.S. real estate and (2) expanding incentives for energy efficiency in commercial buildings (i.e., Internal Revenue Code Section 179D). Finally, we oppose: (1)increasing the 27.5-year depreciation period for multifamily buildings and (2) increasing taxes applicable to depreciation recapture. We conducted lobbying activities with regard to the following tax reform proposals: - Senate Committee on Finance Chairman's Staff Discussion Draft on Provisions to Reform International Business Taxation. Section 93: Modification to Tax on Foreign Investments in United States Real Property Interests. - Senate Committee on Finance Chairman's Staff Discussion Draft to Reform Certain Business Provisions. Section 2: Repeal of Certain Specialized Expensing Provisions (i.e., Section 179D). Section 11: Pooled Asset Cost Recovery System and Depreciation of Real Property. Section 12. Rules Related to Treatment of Gains from Depreciable Property. Section 15. Repeal of Like-Kind Exchanges - Senate Committee on Finance Chairman's Staff Discussion Draft to Reform Certain Energy Tax Provisions. Section 2. Clean Energy Investment Credit. Carried Interest: We oppose changes to current law as part of any legislation, including: S. 268, Cut Unjustified Tax Loopholes Act, Title VI, Ending the Carried Interest Loophole (Section 601: Short Title. Section 602: Partnership Interests Transferred in Connection with Performance of Services. Section 603: Special rules for Partners Providing Investment Management Services to Partnerships. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: - We support efforts to make permanent the 9 percent tax credit for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and to extend the same policy to 4 percent LIHTCs for acquisition. We specifically support S. 1442, Improving the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Rate Act (all provisions) that would put this policy into place. - We also urged Congress to preserve the LIHTC and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds as part of any tax reform efforts. - Although no bill is pending, we asked Congress to support making the LIHTC more flexible by allowing developments to qualify if 40 percent of units go to families with incomes that average no more than 60 percent of area median income. No specific legislation supported yet this Congress, but we supported efforts to amend the Internal Revenue Code to improve and extend the deduction for new and existing energy efficient commercial buildings (S. 3591, Commercial Building Modernization Act from 112th Congress, all provisions). Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA): - H.R. 2870, to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt certain stock of real estate investment trusts from the tax on foreign investments in United States real property, all provisions. - S. 1181, to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt certain stock of real estate investment trusts from the tax on foreign investments in United States real property, all provisions. IRS Final Rule (TD 9636) and temporary (TD 9564) and proposed rules (REG-110732-13) and REG-168745-03) regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property under Internal Revenue Code Sections 162(a) and 263(a). We asked that the temporary and proposed regulations be made more administrable through: (1) addition of bright-line examples; (2) expansion of de minimis rules; and (3) treatment of multiple buildings in a development as a single unit of property.

Tax reform: We asked that Congress take a comprehensive approach to tax reform and not enact reform for C corporations at the expense of flow-thru entities, including partnerships, S Corporations, and LLCs. We also asked policymakers not to tax flow-through entities with revenues over certain thresholds as C corporations or to pass legislation that would disadvantage real estate relative to other industries. We also favor maintaining: (1) the current-law tax treatment of carried interest; (2) the full deductibility of business interest; (3) the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds; (4) the permanent estate tax rules enacted in January 2013 that feature a $5 million exemption, 40 percent top rate, and retention of stepped-up basis rules; (5) the current-law rules regarding Section 1031 like-kind exchanges; (6) the 27.5 year depreciation period for multifamily real estate; and (7) the deductibility of state and local real estate taxes. Additionally, we signed a real estate industry letter on tax reform. This letter called on Congress to foster a tax code that promotes: (1) capital formation (i.e., preserving reduced rates on capital gains, preserving capital gains treatment for carried interest, maintaining the tax exclusion for the sale of a principal residence, and stimulating inbound foreign investment); (2) cost recovery (i.e., decreasing depreciable lives of real estate assets and retaining stepped-up basis on inherited assets); (3) retaining the full deductibility of business interest; (4) a vibrant housing sector by maintaining the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and the deductibility of mortgage interest and real property taxes; (5) retaining like-kind exchanges; and (6) maintaining entity choice and a single level of tax for pass-through entities. Carried Interest. We oppose changes to current law as part of any legislation, including: S.268, Cut Unjustified Tax Loopholes Act, Title VI, Ending the Carried Interest Loophole, Section 601. Short Title, Section 602. Partnership Interests Transferred in Connection with Performance of Services, and Section 603. Special Rules for Partners Providing Investment Management Services to Partnerships. Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: We support efforts to make permanent the 9 percent tax credit for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and to extend the same policy to 4 percent LIHTCs for acquisition. We specifically support S. 1442, Improving the Low Income Housing Tax Credit Rate Act, all provisions, that would put this policy into place. We also urged Congress to preserve the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit and tax-exempt private activity housing bonds as part of any tax reform effort. Although no bill is pending, we asked Congress to support making the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit more flexible by allowing developments to qualify if 40 percent of units go to families with incomes that average no more than 60 percent of area median income. No specific legislation supported yet this Congress, but we supported efforts to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to improve and extend the deduction for new and existing energy efficient commercial buildings (S. 3591, Commercial Building Modernization Act from 112th Congress, all provisions). H.R. 2870, to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt certain stock of real estate investment trusts from the tax on foreign investments in United States real property, all provisions. S. 1181, to amend the Internal Revenue Code to exempt certain stock of real estate investment trusts from the tax on foreign investments in United States real property, all provisions. IRS Final Rule (TD 9636) and temporary (T.D. 9564) and proposed rules (REG-110732-13 and REG-168745-03) regarding the deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property under Internal Revenue Code Sections 162(a) and 263(a). Asked that temporary and proposed regulations be made more administrable through: (1) addition of bright-line examples; (2) expansion of de minimis rules; and (3) treatment of multiple buildings in a development as a single unit of property.

We also asked policymakers not to tax flow-through entities with revenues over certain thresholds as C corporations or to pass legislation that would disadvantage real estate relative to other industries. We further requested that Congress maintain the deductibility of business interest and the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit. Finally, we urged Congress to enact permanent estate tax reform with a $5 million exemption, 35 percent top rate, and a retention of stepped-up basis rules. 2001 and 2003 Tax Cuts & Fiscal Cliff: We supported an extension of tax rates applicable in 2012 to income, capital gains and dividends, and the estate tax. Specifically, we favored: - H.R. 8 - Job Protection and Recession Prevention Act of 2012. Section 2: Extension of 2001 and 2003 Tax Relief. Section 4: Extension of Alternative Minimum Tax Relief for Individuals. - HR 8, American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, Section 101: Permanent Extension an Modification of 2001 Tax Relief. Section 102: Permanent Extension and Modification of 2003 Tax Relief. Section 104: Permanent Extension of Alternative Minimum Tax Relief. Section 302: Extension of Temporary Minimum Low-Income Housing Tax Credit for Non-Federally Subsidized New Buildings. Section 305: Extension of New Markets Tax Credit. Section 331: Extension and Modification of Bonus Depreciation. Section 408: Extension of Credit for Energy-Efficient New Homes. - We also asked Congress to: (1) enact comprehensive tax reform that reduces marginal tax rates; (2) avoid raising marginal tax rates as part of fiscal cliff and tax reform; and (3) address the solvency of entitlement programs. Tax Extenders: We supported extending the following expiring tax provisions: New Markets Tax Credit (IRC Section 45D); Increased AMT exemption amount (IRC Section 55(d)); Additional 100 Bonus Depreciation (IRC Section 168(k)); Expensing of Brownfield Remediation Costs (IRC Section 198). Additionally, we engaged in lobbying activities on the following bill: S. 3521, Family and Business Tax Cut Certainty Act of 2012: Section 101. Extension of increased alternative minimum tax exemption amount. Section 202. Extension of temporary minimum low-income tax credit rate for non-federally subsidized new buildings. Section 205. Extension of New Markets Tax Credit. Section 308. Extension of credit for energy efficient new homes. Carried Interest: We opposed changes to current law as part of any legislation. We also specifically opposed H.R. 4016, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to provide for the proper tax treatment of personal service income earned in pass-thru entities (all provisions). Low-Income Housing Tax Credit: H.R. 3661 and S. 1989, to make permanent the 9 percent tax credit for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) and to extend the same policy to 4 percent LIHTCs for acquisition (all provisions). S. 3521, Family and Business Tax Cut Certainty Act of 2012, Section 202. Extension of temporary minimum low-income tax credit rate for non-federally subsidized new buildings. We also urged Congress to preserve the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit as part of any tax reform effort. Although no bill is pending, we asked Congress to support making the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit more flexible by allowing developments to qualify if 40 percent of units go to families with income that averages no more than 60 percent of area median income. IRS Temporary (T.D. 9564) and proposed rules (REG-168745-03) regarding deduction and capitalization of expenditures related to tangible property under IRC 263(a).
