This bill adds an exception to the real estate transfer tax for certain transfers by an investment trust if the tax was paid when the real property title was acquired. The Department states this bill will decrease General Fund and Education Trust Fund revenue by an indeterminable amount. The Department does not have the data on what percentage of real estate transfer tax revenue is currently attributable to transfers by NH investment trusts or how many transfers of real estate by NH investment trusts may occur in subsequent years or the price or consideration of these transfers to estimate the impact on revenue.
