Who Really Pays Income Taxes
By: Arthor Pens
With all the talk of the rich not paying their fair share of taxes and the tax cuts earlier this decade only going to the rich, here are some facts to contemplate and you as the reader can make up your own opinion.
· The statement above could be true when you look at it from a pure dollar point of view. Someone who makes $500,000 versus someone who makes $50,000, if they each get a 5% tax cut, the first one pays $25,000 less in taxes, where the second one only pays $2,500 less in taxes.
· I believe if you want to make an argument who pays more in taxes, you should look at a percentage of income paid and not the dollar figure.
Let's look at some facts here from the latest statistics from the IRS that can be found on their website:
· The top 25 percent of income earners pay 86% of all personal, federal income taxes. That is up from 84 percent in 2002.
· The top 50 percent of income earners pay 97% of all personal, federal income taxes, which also means that the lower half of all income earners in this country pay 3% of all personal, federal income taxes. continue reading

By: ratetake
In some instances, it is possible for individuals to deduct the interest of such home equity loans on their state and federal taxes, which are, or at least should be, filed annually the Internal Revenue Service.

Is This REALLY the Way to Avoid Property Taxes?
By: Amer Siddiq
Over recent months it has come to our attention that a tax strategy referred to by us as ‘never sell a property means no taxes’ has started to get mentioned on various discussion forums, with people saying that this is the solution to all the investor’s property tax problems.
How Does the Strategy Work?
Quite simply, the strategy involves growing a portfolio without ever selling a single property. As the property prices continue to increase, the owner would then release equity from the property, using it to:
a) Provide a means of living
b) Acquire more property
c) Both of the above
The Benefits of the Strategy.
The main tax benefits can be summarised as follows:
1. Zero tax on the equity release.
This is probably the ‘biggest tax’ selling point of this strategy. continue reading

Should I wait until April 6th 2008 before I sell my property?
By: Amer Siddiq
The pre-budget report from Alistair Darling in early October was heralded as a budget for residential property investors.
Why?
Because one of the main headlines was that the capital gains tax rate from 6th April 2008 would be reduced to a flat rate of 18%.
What this means is that people who have been investing in property and have been concerned at paying capital gains at a whopping 40% have been relieved of this pain – if they sell on or after 6th April 2008.
Actually, to be more to the point, the 18% flat rate would be payable if contracts are exchanged on or after 6th April 2008.
Giving with one hand and taking with the other
Although the reduction to 18% represents a capital gains tax saving of over 50%, it is important to understand that the Chancellor has also proposed removing two reliefs that would benefit longer term investors.
These are:
Indexation relief: a relief that is available for properties that were purchased before 6 April 1998. This is an allowance that adjusts gains for the effects of inflation up to 1998.
Non-business taper relief: a relief that became effective on 6 April 1998. This tapering relief is a replacement for indexation relief and is available for non-business-related assets, such as properties.
The amount of relief available is dependant upon the period of property ownership. continue reading
