DVC FIRPTA Tax
When buying or selling a Disney Vacation Club contract from a non-U.S. seller, understanding DVC FIRPTA tax is crucial. The Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (FIRPTA) requires foreign sellers to pay U.S. tax on the sale of real property — including Disney Vacation Club memberships. At DVC Sales, we provide expert guidance on how to handle FIRPTA tax and ensure compliance, while our sister site, www.dvcfirpta.com, offers dedicated resources and assistance for non-U.S. sellers navigating the process.
What Is FIRPTA Tax for DVC?
FIRPTA is a U.S. tax law that applies to foreign sellers of real estate. When a non-U.S. seller transfers a DVC contract, they may be required to pay tax on the sale. For DVC, this tax applies to the transfer of the membership and associated points. FIRPTA mandates that the buyer withhold a percentage of the sale price for tax purposes, which is then sent to the IRS.
Who Is Affected by DVC FIRPTA Tax?
FIRPTA applies to non-U.S. sellers of real property, including DVC contracts. If you're a foreign seller, a portion of the sale price may be withheld by the buyer (typically 15%) and sent to the IRS to satisfy tax obligations. Buyers must also ensure that all paperwork is filed properly.
