2nd home Mortgage interest

As for the timeframe, I bought the reoccupied home in mid-June 2011 and now want to take possession of my own home again, so the timeframe is quickly tight, i.e. I did not expect it to be 12 month before I decided to complete these deals.

What effect will the new taxation act have on shipowner?

Here is what it means to ship owners: Second house departure: Mortgage interest on first and second houses (and boots and motor caravans that have the equivalents of a bed room, bath room and kitchen facilities) will be deducted under the new bill, but it will lower the ceiling from $1 million to $750,000 for new loans.

There is no impact on current mortgage rates. Maintaining this trigger is generally considered very good news as far as many shipkeepers are concerned. However, the new act removes the discount for interest on home ownership credits (which was previously permitted for credits up to $100,000). Under the new act, the tax relief for state and municipal personal and wealth tax is limited to $10,000.

It will not concern the vast majority who own boats, but it is a severe blow to those who live in high-tax states, such as New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and California, and many who have bought costly houses, at least in part on the basis of their capacity to subtract their state income taxation from their Federal income declarations.

Discount tax: If you expect a large legacy to buy a new vessel, you are lucky. That'?s very good tidings for a very small group of you. A lot of boatbuilders, traders and owner companies have organised their operations as JVs, S Corporations, LLCs or individual companies where the gains from the operations are included in the owners' IRS.

Under the new act, these homeowners will receive a 20 per cent discount on the first $315,000 of their combined earnings, which is a very attractive Christmas or public holiday gift. So, how does all this happen in the actual worlds of cruise and shipowning? Probably it won't make much of a difference for most boot owner or future boot owner.

According to a buddy of mine at the store, most shoppers will still think, "Hey, I want the ship and I'm going to be worried about tax next April."
