Healthcare Law and the 3.8% “Sales Tax”

July 3, 2012 by khproperties Leave a Comment

United States Supreme Court

With the recent decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the Healthcare Law (aka “Obamacare“) and all the talk of “the tax” being floated around, I suspect we will once again be hearing and seeing word about the Medicare tax of 3.8% on home sales. I’ve written about this extensively on various blogs, including this one, so I thought I’d take a moment to remind everyone to check the facts and read the article, which was thoroughly researched (and has been quoted and cited many times over). While there is a 3.8% tax, many home owners will not be affected by it at all. Knowing how it is calculated will help you understand the ramifications of this small piece of the Healthcare Law.
