Installment Sale

Conditional Sales Contract
A Conditional Sales Contract is a legal agreement for the sale of property in which the seller retains the title until the buyer fulfills certain predefined conditions, typically the full payment.
Contract Price (Tax)
In an installment sale, the contract price (tax) is the selling price less any existing mortgages assumed by the buyer. Understanding this term is crucial for accurate tax calculations and compliance.
Financing
Financing is the process of borrowing money to purchase property. Various methods exist to acquire the necessary funds, which can involve different types of loans and arrangements.
Gross Profit Ratio
In an installment sale, the Gross Profit Ratio represents the relationship between the gross profit (gain) and the contract price. It is used to determine the taxable gain from each periodic receipt from the buyer.
Installment Sale
An installment sale is a sales method in which the seller receives payments over time and reports a portion of the capital gain to tax authorities as payments are received, thus spreading tax liabilities.
