LoL Avoidance and evasion are basically the same thing, semantics, one is legal and the other is not!
But yeah, capitol gains on those properties will take a nice chunk of the profits from you unless you can avoid paying them by investing in another property or something quickly I believe. I am not positive, as I don't ever have to deal with that, but I think you can avoid paying that if you re-invest the funds
Avoidance is buying the car with a corporate entity and paying those taxes. Evasion is buying it under a fake name and paying no taxes. They're quite different, both in reality and legality.
You've got 6 to 12 months to reinvest to avoid the bulk of capital gains. Capital gains aren't that high, they're lower than regular income tax. If you worked a real job, you'd pay a greater percentage in taxes than I pay in capital gains. I'd still pay a fuck of a lot more than you, but your percentage is higher.
The logic behind it is actually pretty sound.
It's only capital gains rates if it's long-term investing. Short-term investing is taxed at the same rate as regular income.
Yeah I don't have any idea of what the capitol gains tax rate is, I think I hears Biden say he wanted to make it 60% which seems outrageously high, but I have no clue what it currently is.
Oh, it wouldn't be a flat 60%, it's a staggered rate.
You pay like 10% on the first 20,000. You pay like 14% from 20,001 to $50,000. You pay like 33% from 125,000 to 200,000, or shit like that.
And, really, capital gains could be taxed at a higher burden. Ain't nobody gonna say, "Well, you know, I'm just gonna earn less money so that I don't have to pay those few extra dollars!"
And, the only people it's gonna impact are people in my tax bracket, from people like me.
Currently, capital gains is a pretty flat rate (depending on where you are). It's like 15% federal and another 10% state. So, you're paying like 25%. Some states are lower.
