Shanghai property tax collection plan has been reported to the central government.
According to the Chinese government website, the State Council agreed with the Opinions of the Development and Reform Commission on the Key Work of Deepening Economic System Reform in 20 10. The "Opinions" pointed out that the resource tax reform plan was introduced and the real estate tax reform was gradually promoted. The argument about Shanghai property tax is still quite confusing. The unified statement of Shanghai Housing Security and Housing Management Bureau is that "there is no news, plan and timetable about Shanghai property tax operation at present". Some analysts pointed out that the introduction of property tax in Shanghai still needs to solve a series of obstacles. Property tax, an existing tax, was set by the State Council in 1986 Provisional Regulations on People's Republic of China (PRC) Property Tax. It is a "levy on operating real estate", and "personal non-operating real estate" is exempt from property tax. According to industry insiders, the local tax legislative power is in the central government; Whether Shanghai can be piloted needs the approval of the central government. Nevertheless, there are similar cases in Shanghai. For example, the auction system of private car license plates, the relevant person in charge of the ministries and commissions said that this move violated the Road Traffic Safety Law, but Shanghai still auctioned private cars to take pictures every month. Shanghai may also achieve the goal of levying property tax in a flexible way. According to the widely circulated first draft, the per capita area of a family is an important basis for measuring whether to levy property tax. If you meet the tax conditions, you need to pay 8% of the property value every year. The property tax in the tax basis is the evaluation price of the property, not the transaction price. In the eyes of the industry, "8%." This value is closer to the amount of property tax levied on commercial real estate. China securities journal reporter learned from authoritative sources that the Shanghai real estate tax collection plan has been reported to the central government, but there are different opinions on the area limit, or the per capita tax is more than 70 square meters, or the household tax is more than 200 square meters. At the same time, there is a threshold for investing in real estate speculators. If you don't have a Shanghai hukou or a Shanghai residence permit, you can't provide tax records for more than three years, and buying a house will also be taxed. If it is levied according to the per capita area, it is easy to falsify. Housing owners can count their parents, grandparents and in-laws as residents of the house to avoid taxes. In addition, the implementation of property tax faces many difficulties. China securities journal reporter checked the website of Shanghai Housing Security and Housing Administration and found that there are currently registered real estate appraisers 135 1 person in Shanghai. According to the data provided by Zhongfangxin, as of 2009, the stock room area in Shanghai was 498 million square meters. It takes about 3 working days to evaluate a house. Based on the calculation of each house 100 square meter, it takes about 135 1 appraiser in Shanghai to complete the appraisal in about 28 days, that is, excluding the newly added housing area during the period. Property tax and travel tax are levied annually, but travel tax must be paid when buying insurance and annual inspection. What measures should be taken to prevent refusal to pay property tax is worth studying.
