Taxation Rules for Real Estate Transfers Under Revenue Law
The Treasury Department explains the 1914 revenue act: deeds conveying lands with value over 100 dollars and not exceeding 600 dollars incur a 50 cent tax plus 50 cents for each additional 500 dollars or fraction. If a property sells for 2000 dollars with cash of 1000 and a note for the balance, tax is 1 dollar on the deed and 20 cents on the note. If the transfer is for nominal or one dollar, tax is based on the value of the conveyed interest after deducting encumbrances. the grantee must affix stamps and may face penalties for insufficient stamp duties.
