Over the last several years the Charleston, South Carolina appreciating real estate market has shown strong demand for 1031 exchange properties. From Myrtle Beach, Pawleys Island, Mt. Pleasant, Kiawah Island to Hilton Head and Greenville, investors continue to buy and sell South Carolina real estate. The 1031 exchange has been used by these investors and business owners to defer recaptured depreciation and federal capital gains taxes when selling and reinvesting into real and personal property.
Tangible and intangible personal property held for use in a business and investment also are eligible for a 1031 exchange. Rather than paying taxes, those dollars are reinvested into 1031 exchange properties providing a return on investment on the taxable dollars. In addition, the expense of borrowing those dollars is eliminated given the tax deferral represents an Internal Revenue Service interest free loan. A 1031 exchange is not tax free, the tax obligation is always present and due at some time in the future.Tax planning is important to decide when it is appropriate to pay the tax obligation.
