Thinking about relocating to Palm Beach Florida?
August 14, 2018 by Linda · Leave a Comment
Thinking about relocating to Florida to take advantage of Florida’s tax benefits? Florida has no state income tax, which means Social Security retirement benefits, pension income and income from an IRA or a 401(k) are all untaxed. Florida has no estate or inheritance tax. Property and sales tax rates are close to the national averages.
“Many millionaires are moving to Palm Beach, the home of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort, to avoid an increase in taxes” – Reuters. According to Newsweek 11/2017, “The Republican tax plan has America’s one percent worried about facing steeper levies on their income, and fat cats in the Northeast may have found a solution: Flee to Florida.” “Fifty-One of the world’s billionaires call Florida home, half of the top 10 billionaires in the State reside in Palm Beach”- Forbes’ 2018 list.

Palm Beach Real Estate (A Guide To Preserving Wealth)
July 15, 2018 by Linda · Leave a Comment
Palm Beach Market Trend…according to the Palm Beach Daily News and The New York Times just about everyone living in the Northeast, Chicago, California and other high tax states is relocating to Palm Beach and Miami.
Why are high net worth individuals, like David Tepper, Ken Griffin, Paul Tudor Jones, Kenneth Tropin, Paul Edgerley along with many of your colleagues, friends and neighbors relocating to South Florida other than the fabulous weather? It’s simple… Wealth Preservation. According to April 30, 2016 article in the New York Times “One Top Taxpayer Moved, and New Jersey Shuddered” by Robert Frank (highlights below), New Jersey’s wealthiest resident reportedly “shifted his personal and business domicile to Florida”.
Hedge-fund billionaire David Tepper decla
In New York, California, Connecticut, Maryland and New Jersey the top 1 percent pay a third or more of total income taxes. Some academic research shows that high taxes are chasing the rich to lower-tax states, and anecdotes of tax-fleeing billionaires abound. Millionaires and billionaires who move from the high-tax states in the Northeast to Florida, for instance, may be drawn by the sunshine, lifestyle and retirement culture, in addition to lower taxes.
