<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">It is my understanding that the DOR takes a very broad view of the issue. If they audit the transaction, they will ask for proof that all payments on the debt were made by Borrower. If in that audit the DOR
learns that Ex in fact paid one half of all payments, I am afraid it will conclude that Ex was de facto liable for half the debt. So relieving Ex of that debt is subject to the excise tax.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">Furthermore, I don't see any "gift" here. So I don't think the Supp Statement is appropriate.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">I think the answer is found in WAC 458-61A-204 regarding TICs:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">(5) The sale of an interest in real property from one or more joint tenants or tenants in common to remaining tenants or to a third party is a taxable transaction. The taxable amount of the sale is the total
of the following:<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">(a) Any consideration given; and<br>
(b) Any consideration promised to be given, including the amount of any debt remaining unpaid on the property at the time of sale multiplied by that fraction of interest in the real property being sold.<o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:10.0pt">The regulation does not differentiate liability vs. non-liability on the existing debt. So unfortunately I think excise tax is due on one half the existing debt, as well as the cash paid for the equity. If that
amount is less than one half the assessed value (the presumed "gross selling price") then the difference is the amount that is exempt from the tax.<o:p></o:p></p>

as a repayment of the amounts that Ex has transferred to Borrower over the years. You say there is nothing in writing that ever created an indebtedness between Borrower and Ex. On its face, then, this just looks like "moving money around" between Borrower
and Ex (especially if they ever had a joint bank account and they are just splitting up joint assets). If this amount (the "Repayment”) is less than 50% of the equity, the amount of the Repayment could be characterized as a gift and the difference between
the Repayment and 50% of the equity would be the amount that is subject to excise tax.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Co-habitants go on title of property together but only one of them (“Borrower”) is liable on the note due to the lender. Borrower makes payments on the loan directly while the
other co-habitant (“Ex”) makes payments to the Borrower for half of the loan payment. There is nothing in writing expressly stating that Ex is indebted to Borrower for 50% of the mortgage payment, but that is essentially what Ex pays to borrower for several
years. <o:p></o:p></p>

would be due on that amount. I am questioning whether excise tax should also be due on 50% of the underlying debt given that the Ex was never personally liable on the note due to the bank. It could appear to someone as though Ex was liable to Borrower for
half the mortgage and has now been relieved of that liability. <o:p></o:p></p>
