US: Trump Administration Considering No Tax On Home Sales Capital Gains

Jul-22 16:09

In continued media Q&A from the Bilateral Meeting with Trump and the President of the Philippines. 

  • Reporter: There’s no tax on tips, overtime or social security. How important is it to have no tax on home sales capital gains to unleash the housing market in this country?
  • Trump: We’re thinking about that. We’d also unleash you just by lowering the interest rates. If the Fed would lower the rates we wouldn’t even have to do that. We are thinking about no tax on capital gains on houses. I’m very impressed you asked that question because nobody knew that. How did you find that out?
