Well then explain whether you would apply the gift tax on the full property value when a portion of the outstanding loan is "gifted" on the property or instead a purchase price is agreed upon and this is financed through a modification of the mortgage. I believe there are some structuring issues here.
The taxable acquisition (here gift) is not reduced by the mere existence of a mortgage, but only to the extent that outstanding debts are secured by it.
Simply put, it is exactly as face described it. I don’t quite understand the problem either.
And possibly on this occasion the mortgage is to be increased so that the financing fits the entire house construction. How do you then calculate the gift tax?
See above.
I don’t understand the problem. Property value 400,000 loan 200,000. A gifts B half of the property. So afterwards both own half. Of the property and of the debts. Tax relevant then 100,000. Half of the "net value."
Edit: Of course, clarify with the bank beforehand
