New York City's Pied-à-Terre Tax Episode 397 – Affluent individuals owning real estate in New York City may now be subject to a “wealth” tax. More SML Planning Minute Podcast Episodes Transcript of Podcast Episode 397 Hello, this is Bill Rainaldi, with another edition of Security Mutual's SML Planning Minute. In today's episode: New York City's Pied-à-Terre Tax. Affluent individuals owning real estate in New York City may now be subject to a “wealth” tax. If you own a second home in New York City, perhaps because you reside permanently in a different state but love the city in the spring or fall, or if you're a real estate investor or reverse snowbird, then you may be in for a surprise. On July 1, 2026, a new law commonly referred to as the NYC Pied-à-Terre surtax became effective.[1] According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the phrase pied-à-terre is a French phrase that means “a temporary or second lodging.”[2] Final rules were published on July 14, 2026.[3] The new law covers one to three family homes (“Class One” properties) and residential condominiums and co-ops (“Class Two” properties) which are not the primary residence of an individual. Individuals who own one of these types of properties are subject to an annual tax surcharge. If the property is owned by multiple individuals, or through a business entity such as a corporation or limited liability company, the person holding the majority interest is assessed the surcharge. If the property is owned by a trust, the responsible individual is the trust's beneficial owner, provided the owner is the sole beneficiary of the trust. An exemption applies if it can be shown that as of January 5 immediately before the relevant year at issue, the property was occupied as a primary residence for a period of at least one year by the individual or an immediate family member. The final rules provide some clarity on the application of this new law, but questions remain, particularly if: there are multiple trust beneficiaries; it is difficult to determine who holds a majority interest; there is ownership of multiple properties; exemptions may apply; the resident may be temporarily confined to a medical or care facility; etc. The NYC Department of Finance (“DOF”) determines if the surtax applies each year. There are two valuation methods and taxes that are used. Phase One lasts through June 30, 2028, and Phase Two begins on July 1, 2028. During Phase One, the market value of Class One properties must be valued at $5 million or above but for Class Two properties, the valuation minimum is $1 million. For Class One properties, the tax ranges from 0.8% to 1.3% of market value depending upon various valuation breakpoints. For Class Two properties, the tax ranges from 4.0% to 6.5% of market value again depending upon various valuation breakpoints. The large differences in valuation and tax are due to the way the DOF currently values condos and co-ops for real property tax purposes. In Phase Two, a single minimum $5 million valuation and only one rate schedule will apply to all properties after changes to the valuation process. The DOF has commenced sending out notices, notifying homeowners that the DOF believes their property is subject to the surtax and the projected amount. The DOF is supposed to complete these notices no later than August 30, 2026. The appeals process generally starts 30 days after the notice is transmitted, NOT when it is received. Since the law is new and there are many issues left unclear, the DOF has created a dedicated page on its website with frequently asked questions and other information at https://www.nyc.gov/site/finance/property/non-primary-residence-surcharge.page. The new law is complicated, with questions remaining unanswered. Therefore, anybody who owns a second home in New York City that may have market valuations exceeding those mentioned should immediately consult with a tax professional or real estate attorney in New York to determine if they may be subject to the new wealth surtax. Owners must ensure that their contact information with the DOF is accurate since the appeals process is not dependent upon receipt of a notice. Note also that this wealth tax is applied against the entire market valuation of the residence and not just the portion exceeding the minimums. [1] N.Y. Tax law Section 1350; N.Y.C. Admin.

I episode 137 er investeringsdirektør Robert Næss i Nordea tilbake i StockUp-studio. Med flere tiårs erfaring som forvalter tar vi tempen på aksjemarkedet etter første halvdel av året.Vi går gjennom hvordan 2026 faktisk har utspilt seg sammenlignet med forventningene, og om AI fortsatt er den viktigste driveren – eller om forventningene nå begynner å bli for høye. Robert deler også sine tanker om den mulige bråstoppen hvis de store teknologiselskapene tvinges over på kinesiske chips. Videre diskuterer vi den overraskende svake oljeprisen til tross for geopolitisk uro, hva det betyr for norske energiaksjer, og om det fortsatt er mer å hente på Oslo Børs (energi, sjømat, shipping og industri) – eller om man bør se mer utenlands nå.Robert deler hvilke norske selskaper og sektorer som ser spesielt interessante (eller dyre) ut akkurat nå, og om han selv har kjøpt mer i noen aksjer de siste månedene. Vi tar også et dykk i finans- og forsikringssektoren, som står på all-time high, og spør hvor lenge syklusen med kraftige prisøkninger kan vare.Selskaper som ble nevnt gjennom episoden var Mowi, Bakkafrost, Sparebankene, DNB, Wilhelmsen Holding, Storebrand, Cadeler, Dof, Reach Subsea, Gigante Salmon, Orkla, Europris og Kid.Til slutt: Hva er det vanskeligste med å være langsiktig investor i praksis, og hva er det ene grepet en vanlig StockUp-lytter kan gjøre i dag som kan ha størst positiv effekt på avkastningen de neste ti årene? Robert oppfordrer alle til å følge sin egen investeringsfilosofi.Nordea / Robert Næss: https://www.nordea.com/no/nyheter-innsikt/robert-naessEpisoden er spilt inn for informasjons- og underholdningsformål, og innholdet i episoden skal ikke anses som en investeringsanbefaling.

In this episode of the Pilgrims Podcast, host Mark Lovell is once again joined by Plymouth Argyle Director of Football Derek Adams for a wide-ranging and lively World Cup special.Derek and Mark look ahead to Scotland's huge test against Brazil in Miami and it promises to be a proper examination in stifling heat. Conditions, tactics, and mentality all come under the duo's spotlight. Can Scotland stay in the game long enough to cause a shock, or will Brazil's quality (Neymar?) tell in the end? Derek breaks it all down in detail. Defensive structure, game management, and what it might take to survive against elite opposition on the biggest stage. Liverpool away at Anfield anybody?There's also plenty of focus on England's impressive start under Thomas Tuchel, with praise for their tactical flexibility, squad depth, and the way the Three Lions dismantled Croatia in their opener.Beyond the matches, the discussion goes deeper into modern coaching. How in-game decisions are made, how systems evolve mid-match, and what separates good tournament teams from great ones. Derek also reflects on his transition into his role at Plymouth Argyle, offering insight into life behind the scenes as DOF.Packed with analysis, big opinions, and a touch of nostalgia for World Cup moments gone by (without hydration breaks).

It's officially the start of the summer season — and in true solo pod fashion, we're kicking it off with a timely breakdown of the brand new NYC Pied-à-Terre Tax that just got enacted. In this episode, I walk through exactly how the new surcharge works (Phase 1 vs. Phase 2), why the crazy-low DOF market value on high-end condos actually shields many owners from the tax in both phases, and what the switch to comparable sales in 2028 could mean in the long term. Then we zoom out: the never-ending “tax the rich” playbook in NYC and beyond. I compare the actual tax landscape of 2021–2026 (post-COVID, Inflation Reduction Act, state cuts vs targeted hikes) against 2005–2010 (recession-era increases) at the federal, state, and major city levels. Property taxes, mansion taxes, transfer taxes, income surtaxes — who's really raising what, and how much? Follow me for more: LinkedIn X Instagram YouTube

Matt's story starts with baseball. A promising career cut short by a hip injury (the “Bo Jackson thing,” as he calls it) led him to find a different path — one that started at TSTI in Waco and ended up shaping thousands of dentures, dozens of labs, and one of the fastest-growing state dental lab associations in the country. From living in an RV at the end of an airport runway while in school… to learning how to tear down porcelain ovens and rebuild lathes… to mastering ambidextrous denture setups with a soldering iron (yes, really), Matt built his foundation the old-school way. And he built it fast. We dive deep into his 12-year run with Affordable Dentures — managing high-production labs doing 60+ arches a day, training technicians across the country, helping open over 200 sites, and eventually becoming a regional leader. He shares what it takes to build systems that move that kind of volume — staggered lunches, zero idle time, and a whole lot of hustle. From there, Matt takes us through Barksdale Dental Lab, the early days of All-on-4, learning analog conversion workflows before digital streamlined everything, and why zirconia has changed the long-term game for full-arch restorations. When Matt returned to Texas and got involved with the Dental Laboratory Association of Texas (DLAT), the show had about a dozen booths. Today? Over 100. He breaks down how restructuring leadership, empowering the right people, removing outside management costs, and reinvesting in members transformed DLAT into one of the strongest state meetings in the country.

From delivering impressions on a scooter through the streets of London to completely rebuilding his lab as a fully digital operation, Michael shares a candid, honest look at what it really takes to survive—and thrive—in today's dental lab landscape. Michael walks listeners through his early days pouring hundreds of stone models by hand, navigating education with dyslexia, and eventually earning his degree in dental technology. After years at the bench, he pivoted into dental sales, working with companies like Orascoptic, Sirona, and Skillbond/Argen—experience that gave him deep insight into materials, equipment, and the business side of dentistry. That sales background ultimately fueled his return to lab ownership and helped him build a strong network of clinicians from day one. The conversation takes a powerful turn as Michael opens up about the challenges of Brexit, COVID, staffing losses, and personal upheaval that nearly ended his lab altogether. Instead of quitting, he made a bold decision: gut the lab completely and rebuild it from the ground up as a fully digital operation. Investing heavily in milling, printing, Exocad, and workflow automation, Michael shares how committing to systems, protocols, and vertical integration transformed not just his lab—but his mindset. Elvis and Barb dig into Michael's digital workflows, including photogrammetry, full-arch immediate load cases, remote design teams, LMS integration with GreatLab, and why reliability and consistency are the real competitive advantages. Michael also explains how peer referrals—not ads—became his strongest growth engine, and how simplifying communication with dentists through WhatsApp, QR codes, automation, and self-booking systems has completely changed the way his lab operates.### If you want to grow your business, you need clear insight into what's happening inside your operation and across your customer journey.

What began as a job delivering cases quickly turned into a full-blown passion once she stepped inside the lab and saw what technicians were creating. From trimming dies and waxing copings to managing labs, supporting implant surgeries, teaching doctors chairside, and leading removable and implant teams, Helen shares a journey built on curiosity, persistence, and a deep drive to understand the why behind everything in dental technology. Helen talks about working her way through crown and bridge fundamentals before discovering her true passion in removables, dentures, implants, and occlusion. After getting real-world lab experience, she attended dental technology school, studied all six specialties, and continued expanding her knowledge through advanced occlusion training and continuing education. She explains why understanding morphology, materials, and occlusal principles is critical — especially today — and why technicians must know more than just the steps of fabrication. For Helen, dentures and implant prosthetics offer the ultimate puzzle, combining anatomy, function, and problem-solving in ways that keep her constantly engaged. The conversation dives deep into digital dentistry, guided surgery, and removable workflows, with Helen sharing her early experiences launching digital denture and sleep appliance programs long before the workflows were polished. She discusses digital record capture, stackable surgical guides, implant planning, photogrammetry, and where digital still needs improvement — especially for removable prosthetics. While she embraces technology, she stresses that software is only as good as the technician behind it, and that skipping fundamentals creates bigger problems later. Digital is powerful, but it doesn't replace understanding. Education is a major theme throughout the episode. Helen regularly teaches doctors and technicians, speaks at courses, supports live implant conversions, and works with dental students. She emphasizes that many clinicians today lack confidence in dentures and removable workflows, often because fundamentals are under-taught, and she sees technicians as essential partners in closing that gap. She and the hosts discuss how removable cases are frequently rushed, underpaid, and misunderstood — even though they replace a critical body function — and why slowing down, capturing correct records, and returning to basics solves many of the “mystery” failures labs see every day. Helen also shares stories from her time with large organizations and clinical teams, including MicroDental, ClearChoice, Arklign, and implant education centers, where she has worked in technical service, management, training, and quality oversight roles. She talks about networking, mentoring, never burning bridges, and investing in people coming up in the industry. Her approach to both dentistry and life centers around curiosity and accountability — always asking why, always backing decisions with data, and always trying to do the right thing even when no one is looking. Throughout the episode, the energy stays fun and honest, with stories about speeding delivery runs, early digital growing pains, chairside save-the-case moments, and the reality of fixing cases that skipped key steps. Helen brings passion, technical depth, and a strong belief that knowledge should be shared, not guarded. It's a conversation about growth, fundamentals, digital evolution, and why great technicians still matter more than ever.

We welcome back longtime friend of the podcast John Wilson of Sunrise Dental Lab, returning for the first time since 2021—and this time as a fellow podcaster himself. What starts as a warm reunion quickly turns into a deep, honest conversation about passion, purpose, integrity, and what it really takes to survive (and stay sane) in today's dental lab world. John reflects on the evolution of his lab, sharing why he made the intentional decision not to chase endless growth, but instead to protect his team, his values, and his love for the craft. He talks candidly about “yesterday thinking,” adapting to digital dentistry without abandoning fundamentals, and why aligning with the right clients—not just more clients—changed everything. The discussion dives into what true lab–doctor partnerships look like, why trust is earned (not given), and how saying “no” can sometimes be the most powerful business decision you make. John also explains why single units matter just as much as full-arch cases, how education keeps technicians relevant, and why racing to the bottom on price is a losing game. Later, the conversation turns personal as John shares the inspiration behind his new solo podcast, Margins & Meaning—a storytelling-driven project created to document his journey, connect with technicians who feel alone, and leave something meaningful behind for the next generation. He opens up about legacy, creativity, fear, change, and why being heard matters just as much as having something to say.
