UNDERSTANDING SALT PPA

State and Local Tax Purchase Price Allocation, commonly referred to as SALT PPA, ensures that hotel assets are properly valued as in three distinct categories: real estate, tangible personal property; intangible personal property or business enterprise. The benefits of SALT PPA are reduced transfer tax and a reduced basis for real estate tax.
