The One Big Beautiful Bill Becomes Law: Key Real Estate Tax Changes

Signed into law on July 4, 2025, by President Trump, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has ushered in significant changes to the landscape of real estate taxation. This new legislation not only extends but also modifies key provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, providing a fresh wave of business incentives and reforms that are particularly beneficial to the real estate industry.

The Act’s implications are far-reaching. It offers a myriad of opportunities for taxpayers to reduce their tax burdens, with notable expansions in benefits for Opportunity Zone investors. This move is expected to increase the availability of low-income housing and new markets tax credits, fostering a more inclusive economic environment.

Congress passes amendments

Interestingly, the Act omits some of the more controversial proposals from previous versions, such as the so-called “Revenge Tax.” Instead, it introduces new incentives for qualified production activities, which are poised to encourage onshoring of manufacturing.

Key Provisions

One of the standout features of the Act is the permanent extension of the 20% deduction under Section 199A for certain individuals, trusts, and estates. This extension is a boon for those involved with partnerships, S corporations, and sole proprietorships, as well as those receiving qualified REIT dividends.

Moreover, the Act reinstates the 100% bonus depreciation under Section 168(k) for qualified property, a move that is expected to stimulate economic activity by encouraging investment in tangible personal property.

Looking Ahead

As the real estate sector begins to navigate these changes, all eyes will be on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Treasury for further guidance. The continuous monitoring and updates from these bodies will be crucial in ensuring that businesses and investors can effectively leverage the new opportunities presented by the Act.
