The One Big Beautiful Bill Act introduces substantial adjustments that could transform how real estate stakeholders approach taxes. In this episode of Weaver: Beyond the Numbers, Location Cubed, our hosts, Howard Altshuler and Aaron Grisz, break down the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and discuss what it means for real estate tax.
Key Points:
- Bonus depreciation now permanent: Key to reducing immediate tax burdens
- Opportunity zones reset: New potential for long-term tax deferral and benefits
- Section 163(j) returns to EBITDA: Enhanced interest deduction capacity
By permanently setting bonus depreciation at 100%, developers can significantly reduce upfront tax liabilities, thus encouraging new investments and development projects. The act also revamps opportunity zones, allowing for longer investment periods and potential rural development incentives, which could reposition your strategies for long-term growth.
Additionally, the shift back to using EBITDA for interest deductions under Section 163(j) expands the capacity for interest write-offs, complementing existing strategies for financial feasibility in project development. These legislative changes provide real estate professionals with new avenues for tax efficiency, giving investors more confidence in their financial planning.
Speaking to the previous phase out of bonus depreciation, Aaron commented, “It’s been getting worse and worse each year, and so going from 40% or 20% and 0% in a couple of years, back to 100% is very big for our real estate clients.”
As these provisions unfold, staying informed will be imperative for tax planning, financial stability and strategic investment. Howard and Aaron break down each element, offering insights tailored to boost growth and devising strategies that align with this updated tax landscape.
