may result IN perfectly legal
tax windfall.
If the property has increased
in selling prices-and 1t probably
has under Roosevelt Truman
Eisenhower inf1ation-the selling
firm may realize profit taxable
at the moderate capital-gains
rate.
Illustrative Case
To make this clearer. let's con-
slider the imaginary zYX Co.
Ten years ago it bought a tract
for 100000 and erected and
equipped a 100000 plant with a
life Of about 20 years. For the
past 10 years on its income tax
reports, it has charged off S.
600 a year for depreciation Of
the plant. nothing on the land.
This has cut its tax bill by So
600 a year.
Suppose the land now has a
market value of 100000, and
the plant $50,000. If the firm
sells the land and plant for
$250,000, it will make a capital
gain of 100000, reduced by a
tax Of $25.000. If the deal pro-
vides for a rent of $4,000 a
year, that will be fully deduct-
ible, instead of the $4,000 for
depreciation. Thus the deduc-
ton will be $12.400 more.
In this case, as in many others,
the advantages are not very
great. While its deduction will
be greater, the company will be
paying $4,000 rent, making it's
net income $4,000 less. That's
the difference between the $15.-
600 rent and the $12,400 gain in
deduction.
The ratio Of loss or gain, Of
course. depends on factors Of
selling price, rent. depreciation,
etc. Under some circumstances,
SAA| GaAAA OdA1 UC ldl SC.
But even if there is an i'm.
mediate loss, the corporation has
obtained interest-free working
capital; in this case, $225,OOO.
Money Costs More
In the past, it has been highly
advantageous to sell and lease
back under certain circum-
stances. Aggressive promoters
have been able to swing enormous
deals; some times they have
wound up owning no real estate,
no plant, nothing except the
business itself. and that's what
produces profit.
Ten years ago sound business
could borrow money from bank
at 81 per cent interest. Today
it must pay ATS per cent-and
more if the borrowers belong to
the wrong country club.
Thus any capital squeezed out
of "Sell-and-lease-back" deals is
twice as valuable as it was when
this gimmick was first devised.
In our own imaginary COM
pany. the $225.000 capital OBJ
tanned will be worth about $12,250
a year at current interest rates.
Thus the deal cost almost nothing
and gives the management the
leverage of that much working
capital.
That's why almost every COM
pany owning a plant or store
will soon be thinking of a lease
back deal, and why you'll see
many conSummated while inter-
est rates are high.
