Redacted Letter Rulings - Real Property Transfer Tax (RPTT)
The transaction involving the transfer of Air Rights should be viewed in its entirety for purposes of the RPTT. The quit claim deeds are not part of a separate transaction but merely a mechanism to confirm and record that the Purchaser owns the portion of the building housing the residential condominium units and the Seller owns the commercial condominium unit and do not result in a change in beneficial ownership. The consideration for the transfer of the Air Rights is $15,230,000 plus the value of the commercial unit constructed by the Purchaser for the Seller less the $500,000 that the Seller contributed towards the construction. #15-4967 11/13/15
