The amount of tax due depends on the fair market value of the property that is transferred:
– If the fair market value is $200,000 or less, the tax is 1% of the fair market value.
– If the fair market value is greater than $200,000, the tax is 1% of the fair market value up to $200,000, plus 2% on the portion of the fair market value that is greater than $200,000.
For example:
– if fair market value of property is $150,000 tax payable is: 1% of $150,000 = $1,500
– if fair market value of property is $250,000 tax payable is: 1% of $200,000 = $2,000 plus 2% of $50,000 = $1,000 for total tax payable of $3,000
