Is a âMansion Taxâ Deductible? Q Is the 1 percent âmansion taxâ imposed by New York State on a house that costs $1 million or more deductible on the buyerâs federal income tax return? A Joel E. Miller, a Queens tax lawyer, said that mansion taxes, whether imposed by New York or another state, are not deductible on a buyerâs federal tax return.
Mr. Miller noted that while a mansion tax is not deductible, it does increase the propertyâs tax basis. The basis â basically the purchase cost plus the cost of any capital improvements made to the property â is subtracted from the sale price to arrive at the capital gain realized on the sale of the property.
