The sale of taxed tea in the colonies primarily benefited the British East India Company, which sought to reduce its surplus tea and maintain its profits. By enforcing the Tea Act of 1773, the British government aimed to help the struggling company by allowing it to sell tea directly to the colonies at a lower price, even with the tax included. This move was intended to undercut smuggled tea and assert British authority, but it ultimately fueled colonial resentment and resistance, leading to events like the Boston Tea Party.

Do you have to pay capital gains tax on sale of your final home if you have previously owned several homes over several decades with cumulative gains that exceed current maximum exclusion amount?
Yes, you are subject to capital gains tax on the gain on the sale of your principal residence that exceeds the maximum exclusion ($250,000 if Single / $500,000 if Married Filing Joint.) The old rule allowed you to defer paying tax on a home sale by "buying up" and rolling the gain into the new residence. You do that by reducing the basis of the new residence. Note that the old rule was always intended as a deferral of tax, not a tax exclusion. Because you were allowed to defer tax on prior sales, the basis of your current residence is likely low. This results in a large gain on sale that, unfortunately, may put you over the maximum exclusion. Note, however, you will only be taxed on the portion of gain that exceeds the maximum exclusion. For example, if your gain is $600,000 and you file Married Filing Jointly, you will only be taxed on $100,000 of gain ($600,000 gain minus $500,000 exclusion.)
