In this article, Andrew J. Hogan discusses the decision by the Ohio Supreme Court permitting interested parties to pierce an “entity transfer” of real estate and use the sale price of the entity as the fair market value of the real estate for tax purposes.
“Entity transfers” are often used in commercial real estate transactions for the tax benefits they can confer on the parties to the transaction. In the typical “entity transfer” arrangement, title to real property being sold is first transferred from the current owner to a newly organized subsidiary entity, and then ownership of the subsidiary entity, rather than the title to the real property, is sold to the purchaser. These types of “entity transfers” have recently been targeted by the Ohio County Auditor’s Association.
