Chu Tian Jin News-our reporter Zhang Yangchun property tax, no matter when the introduction, no matter what the plan, it is undeniable that its footsteps are getting closer. Recently, about Chongqing and other place will clear property tax levy news, began to become clearer.　　The relevant departments of the State also began to make relevant statements on the implementation of the property tax on different occasions. In fact, since the real estate macro-control in April this year, the information on the levy of property tax began to spread widely, the national concern. But what most people don't understand is: what is the real estate tax?　　Whose interests will it touch? Official voice: No longer "is studying" house price regulation Bright killer property tax is regarded as the "killer" of house price regulation.　　The property tax will be a heavy blow to regulation in the case of a series of regulatory measures that are hard pressed to hold high prices. In April this year, the so-called "toughest in history" macro-adjustment measures to stabilize house prices, but still failed to stop the pace of rising prices. In October, China's 70 large and medium-sized cities rose 8.6% Year-on-year, up 0.2% per cent, according to the latest statistics from the NBS. This is the 17th consecutive month of rising prices, the second consecutive month rose.　　Among them, Wuhan is one of the most effective cities in the regulation of house prices, rising 8.3% per cent in October, below the average of 70 cities. At the end of September, the government also introduced a second round of property control policies including measures to raise down-payment rates for first-suite homes and to freeze third-and above-home loans.　　In October, the central bank also introduced interest rate hikes.　　If house prices do not fall back, the property tax will come to the front desk.　　In addition to Chongqing, Shenzhen and Shanghai will be the first to implement the national housing Tax news, and some even gave specific tax rates, the introduction of time and other details.　　Especially in the recent period, including the Ministry of Finance, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Housing and other ministries concerned in different occasions, are declared real estate tax pilot is imperative.　　The Ministry of Finance and the State administration of taxation have also changed the vague statement that "is studying" in the past, and made it clear that for the reform of the property tax system, it is proposed that some of the cities should first pilot the housing owned by individuals, resume levying the property tax, accumulate experience and expand the country gradually　　Real estate taxes are getting closer. Policy motives: curb speculative buying to ordinary people what is the real estate tax?　　What about the property tax?　　Property tax is the object of housing, according to the tax balance of housing or rent income as the basis for tax, to the owner of property rights levied. The property tax, which has been widely mentioned in previous years, is actually a concept with the property tax as now mentioned.　　Only, the property tax in our country originally has this tax, now levy, only reform, and to levy a property tax, it is the introduction of a new tax, the need to take a complex legislative process. As early as 1986, China introduced the "real estate tax interim regulations", the provision of real estate, if their own use, to pay 1.2% of the property tax, and to rent to pay rent income of 20% of the property tax. However, for the common peoplePeople's housing, property tax has been exempted. Property tax is to tax the property owner in the holding link. At present, the property tax in China is mainly in three aspects: development, circulation and retention.　　The development link is mainly for the developer's tax, the transaction link includes the deed, the stamp duty, the second-hand housing business tax and so on. In recent years, the real estate market regulation has repeatedly used tax adjustment tools, but mainly in the trading link. In fact, the tax is passed on to homebuyers.　　In Wuhan, second-hand housing sales process, generally by the buyers to bear all the taxes. An important reason for the excessive rise of house prices is the rampant investment speculation. Because there is no cost of ownership, many families have multiple sets of property grabs.　　And the introduction of real estate tax, which increases the cost of housing, help to effectively curb speculative property prices, in the long run, to buy their own ordinary people are beneficial. No need to worry: the first set from the housing in Wuhan there is no "action" in Hankou, a trading company to work in Xiao Zhao, has been trying to save money and so the best time to buy a house. He is both welcome and worried about the property tax. He hopes that the property tax will be able to pull down the price of the house, let him buy the house early.　　The worry is whether the house he buys later will be taxed, and if that's the case, it's going to cost a lot more every year. There is no need for such worries. From the current information, housing should be exempted from the scope of the property tax will almost not increase the cost of independent demand. "The levy on property tax should be limited to investment-oriented housing." Wang Dexiang, a professor of finance and taxation at Wuhan University's School of Economics and Management, said that the property tax should take a progressive tax rate, the larger the area, the more the number, the higher the tax rate, the higher the cost of holding. "If a property tax is levied on the first set of homes, it will only increase the cost of buying a house, and it would be less meaningful to curb investment," he said.　　"In addition, there is news that the real estate tax pilot launch will also follow the" stock does not move, incremental start "program, that is, only the new tax after the newly bought housing tax. The beginning of the pilot is only in a small number of high prices, speculation in the housing seriously some cities pilot. Wang Dexiang that the current housing prices in Wuhan, although compared with the public income is higher, but there is a gap with the first-tier cities, Wuhan should not pilot. Wuhan Finance and Taxation department also said that there is no property tax information.
