    The motivation behind these proposals is to increase tax revenue. The effect is to target the real estate industry, particularly real estate investors and business owners. Other professionals involved in commercial transactions would also be negatively affected.

    The above proposals appear to be based on calculations that do not consider that if investors are unable to defer gains by using Section 1031, many prospective sellers will simply hold on to their properties and will not sell at all.

    Section 1031 exchanges are being looked at as a possible revenue offset to help pay for tax reform and lowering corporate tax rates. However, most of the projected additional tax revenue will never materialize because investors with significant gains will simply hold onto their property rather than face a large tax consequence. The result would be a significant decrease in transactional activity, fewer jobs and a significant reduction in the inventory of available investment properties.
