What is The Augusta Rule (TAR)?

The Augusta Rule is a tax exemption, titled IRS Section 280A(g). The Rule states that if you rent out your home for no more than 14 days per calendar year, the rental income is tax-free.

It’s been in the tax code for nearly 50 years. And the recent Tax Court case Sinopoli v. Comm. (T.C. Memo. 2023-105) confirmed it (with some important details added). 

Businesses have long used this technique to pay tax-deductible rent to their owners – and that rental income is tax-free to the owners. It does not get more tax-efficient than that. Annual tax savings of $8,000 (and sometimes more) are common – year after year.

But there are details that The Internet (and especially Tik Tok) misses. To name one example, the meetings need to be real, and not just “on paper”. It basically means moving things you’d normally do (e.g., annual meetings to maintain an LLC, conversations with peers, clients, vendors, etc.) to your home. 

And documenting it (we make that a lot easier, we know you hate paperwork). 

Once the habit is in place it’s an easy, legal, and annual dividend…at the IRS’ expense

How it Works for Business Owners

1

Host up to 14 business meetings or events at your home.

2

Business pays you rent for the event.

3

Business deducts rent. You get income tax-free.

Why doesn’t every business owner use the Augusta Rule tax strategy?

It’s too complicated. It’s too much work. It’s too risky.

Why can every qualifying business owner now apply The Augusta Rule?

Simple. Because the plan simplifies the complicated, reduces and streamlines the work, and takes most of the risk away from you.
