Section 91.231. Transfers by real estate brokers

If a licensed real estate broker transfers residential property, which was transferred to the broker within the preceding year as consideration for the purchase of other residential property, the tax paid on the initial transfer shall be credited toward the tax due upon the subsequent transfer. To claim the credit, a statement of value shall accompany the document.
Example:

A transfers his residence to B, a licensed real estate broker, who allows A $50,000 on the purchase of other residential property. Within 1 year of the transfer by A to B, B sells the residence to P for a consideration of $75,000. The computation of the tax is as follows:

Tax on transfer to P $750

Tax on transfer to B -500

Tax due on transfer to P $250

The provisions of this § 91.231 adopted September 9, 1988, effective September 10, 1988, 18 Pa.B. 4096.
