Taxes, like real estate taxes, can represent a great LLC tax loophole. You can write off property taxes up to a maximum of $10,000. If you're writing off your property taxes, you should know that you may even be able to write off your homeowners' association fees!
The California Constitution states in part that, "Unless otherwise provided by this Constitution or the laws of the US, (a) All property is taxable". That is, unless otherwise exempted, all forms of tangible property are taxable in California and the Assessor is required to assess business personal property.
Business Personal Property includes all supplies, equipment and any fixtures used in the operation of a business. Exempt from reporting are business inventory, application software and licensed vehicles (except Special Equipment (SE) tagged and off-road vehicles).
Personal property can be classified as either business property or personal-use property. Business property includes items used for commercial purposes, while personal-use property includes items acquired and used for personal enjoyment. Therefore, the statement is correct.
Under Article XIII, Section I of the California Constitution, all property is taxable unless it is exempt. Each year Personal Property is reassessed as of lien date, January 1st. Personal Property is all property except real estate and can include business equipment, vessels, aircraft, vehicles and manufactured homes.
Property owners who occupy their homes as their principal place of residence on the lien date (January 1st), and each year thereafter, are eligible for the exemption if they file a claim.
Deductible personal property taxes are those based only on the value of personal property such as a boat or car. The tax must be charged to you on a yearly basis, even if it's collected more than once a year or less than once a year.
Homeowners' exemption If you own and occupy your home as your principal place of residence, you may be eligible for an exemption of up to $7,000 off the dwelling's assessed value, resulting in a property tax savings of approximately $70 to $80 annually.
