Are Sales Commission Rebates Taxable?

According to IRS guidance, buyer commission rebates are generally treated as a reduction in the purchase price, not taxable income. This means the cash back you receive at closing is tax-free.
IRS Revenue Ruling 2005-28 and Revenue Procedure 2005-13 confirm that commission rebates are considered adjustments to the purchase price rather than taxable income.

Frequently Asked Questions About NYC Sales Commission Rebates

What is a commission rebate and how does it work?

A commission rebate is a credit a buyer's agent gives to their client at closing. The seller pays the commission (typically 5-6% of the purchase price). The buyer's agent receives their share (usually 2.5-3%). At ApartmentsExpert, we give you 75% of what we earn as cash back. On a $1,000,000 purchase, that's approximately $22,500 back in your pocket.
