Kate Courtis, senior vice president for taxation at General Growth Properties, Inc. (NYSE: GGP), joined REIT.com for a video interview during REITWise 2015: NAREIT’s Law, Accounting and Finance Conference held in Phoenix.
Courtis moderated a panel at REITWise looking at the partnership tax issues encountered by REITs. Some of the issues the panel discussed included disguised sales and beneficial elections.
“When [REITs] want to recycle capital, retention of that capital is critical,” Courtis said.
