President Trump has suggested considering the elimination of capital gains taxes on home sales, which could benefit homeowners with significant gains, especially long-term owners in high-value markets. Currently, exemptions allow up to $250,000 (single) or $500,000 (married) in gains tax-free, but inflation and rising home prices mean more homeowners may face taxes.

When selling your primary home and making a $750,000 profit, you may owe capital gains taxes depending on various factors. The IRS taxes home sales as gains or losses on investments, with capital gains rates applying if you owned the property for one year or more. However, there is a capital gains exemption for primary residences that allows married couples to exclude up to $500,000 in profits from taxes, and individuals can exclude up to $250,000. Calculating your capital gains taxes involves considering factors such as marital status, total household income, duration of ownership, and adjusted cost basis. It is advisable to consult a financial advisor for assistance in managing your tax liability.

California Senate hopeful Rep. Adam Schiff, who is running in a competitive primary, has claimed his primary residence as a home he owns in Maryland, while also taking a homeowner's tax exemption on a smaller condo in California. Tax records and other evidence suggest that Schiff spends most of his time in Maryland, raising questions about his residency claims.

Similar residency concerns have plagued other politicians running for Senate positions in the past.

China has extended the purchase tax exemption for new energy vehicles (NEVs), including pure electric energy vehicles, fuel-cell vehicles, and plug-in hybrids, until the end of 2025. For NEVs purchased between Jan. 1, 2026, and Dec. 31, 2027, the vehicle purchase tax will be levied at half the normal rate. The extension of the purchase tax exemption comes at a time when the economy is experiencing a soft patch, and the NEV industry faces intense competition due to the entry of numerous players. Cheaper models from domestic companies are expected to benefit more from the cap on the purchase tax exemption compared to premium vehicles from foreign companies.
