Sale of two cooperative apartments that had been used as a single residential dwelling for over 40 years, and that the purchasers, with board approval using a proposal obtained from an architect, intend to physically combine, should be treated as the sale of a single cooperative apartment subject to the lower tax rate schedule under Code section 11-2102(b)(1)(B)(i). #16-4977 6/9/16
Sale of a one family home with one office, categorized as tax Class 1 to reflect that the Property is used primarily for residential purposes, and having a building Code S1 (primarily 1 family with 1 store or office) consistent with the tax classification is taxed at a reduced rate of 1.425 percent when calculating the RPTT due upon the conveyance of the Property. In the absence of information suggesting the Department's classification of the Property as Class 1 is incorrect, that classification is controlling for RPTT purposes. #15-4975 5/13/16
