Did you know that if you sell your house after 2012 you will pay a 3.8% sales tax on it?

That's $3,800 on a $100,000 home, etc.

When did this happen? It's in the health care bill.

Just thought you should know.

SALES TAX TO GO INTO EFFECT 2013 (Part of HC Bill) Why 2013? Could it be to come to light AFTER the 2012 elections?

REAL ESTATE SALES TAX

So, this is "Change you can believe in?"

Under the new health care bill - did you know that all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax? The bulk of these new taxes don't kick in until 2013 If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax. This bill is set to screw the retiring generation who often downsize their homes. Does this stuff make your November and 2012 vote more important?

Oh, you weren't aware this was in the Obamacare bill? Guess what, you aren't alone. There are more than a few members of Congress that aren't aware of it either

Why am I sending you this? The same reason I hope you forward this to every single person in your address book.

VOTERS NEED TO KNOW.

This will kill many retirees and young couples trading up...but, killing upward mobility is the goal of the Marxists, right?

The post is not correct in its assertion. The tax is on your capital gains on the property after it reaches a threshold. Check it out http://www.snopes.com/politics/taxes/realestate.asp

Given the outlook for home prices, the potential for a $500,000 capital gain is rather dim, IMHO.
Even at that the tax only applies to amounts above that threshold.

[GraceG]

Well if you try to evade it the government will give a place to live for free!!!!

By the time Odumbo is done destroying the country, owning houses will be history.

This tax only applies to families with more than $200K (individual) or $250K (family) income. http://www.atr.org/obamacare-taxes-final-tab-a4744#

[listenhillary]

If I had a capital gain of 500K on my house sale, I would be ecstatic.

It’s not going to happen.

Number 1 with a bullet when you search this at Snopes.

Nice try.

Ever hear of inflation and the Fed running its printing press?

The AMT (Alternative Minimum Tax) was only supposed to be used against the "rich," but now "rich" is $75,000 year.

[ml/nj]

Snopes isn't much of a resource. Someone cited it to me recently concerning whether Obama ever was known as Barry Soetoro. It turned out that they really weren't discussing this but rather some "email" (straw dog really) they said was circulating, and to support their claims about it THEY CITED A STATEMENT RELEASED BY THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN. ("Moreover, a statement released by the Obama campaign affirmed that: ...") Sorry BS like that DISQUALIFIES SNOPES as an authority of any kind.

Hard to see it, in all the deception and lies... A 3.8% sales tax on property transfer in Obamacare? IN OBAMACARE??

Who'dathought?

This is in addition to the 105 BillIon$ slush fund that nobody knew was there until recently.

Are you listening P.E.Ms (Public Employee Morons )? You thought you should afford homes priced twice what the rest of us could. Now you get to pay several times what I will, in addition to to Real Estate commission. Hope your equity is up there high enough not to have to pay when you sell.

Bwaaahaaahaaaa!!
You do realize also that the price on the home will also increase in assessment geometrically if it is sold before you amortize the tax you already paid?Stupidity and ignorance, like elections, also have consequences.

Isn't transparency wonderful?
I'll let the Great Uniter explain it to you.

[Jim from C-Town]

It will be easy in Obama’s USA Zimbobwe where we print trillion dollars in debt every year.

Regardless, it is a new unannounced TAX. One that will effect allot of CA residence that purchased their hjome in the 80’s and are selling in order to downsize.

It is one more way fort eh OBAMA to stick his hand in tyour pocket.

We've got a LONG LONG way to go before we have housing price inflation IMHO.

We've got a LONG LONG way to go before we have housing price inflation IMHO. I'm not sure we've even bottomed out yet. And this is with historic low interest rates. Wait til mortgage rates increase.

Isn't it worth paying something to get the free health care though? /s

[wac3rd]

I cannot trust anyone in Government anymore, at all, save DeMint, King, Bachmann and other conservatives.

[freespirited]

I dont think this is accurate.

First, the 3.8% tax only applies after you have used your 250/500K exclusion for capital gains from real estate. Second, it only kicks in for “rich” people (the over 250K/couple crowd.)

IOW only a small number of home sellers will have to pay the tax.

Just wait until QE3.

[nascarnation]

They couldn’t move houses with 4% fixed for 30 yrs and an $8500 tax credit.

What makes you think 7% (and up) and no tax credit is going to do it?
