Why property tax is difficult to implement: there is ambiguity about increasing personal property tax.

Text/Mucha In this regard, Konka, director of the Finance Department of the Ministry of Finance, recently admitted that the specific timetable for expansion is a top-level design issue, and it is not easy to predict now. In fact, think calmly, the unpredictable aspect of levying property tax is far more than the issue of launching the time node. Experts in the industry generally believe that it is ok to implement property tax in a small scope, and it will be very difficult if it is widely promoted throughout the country. Many problems, such as collection method, collection object and collection point, all affect the landing of property tax. Should there be any ambiguity in increasing personal property tax? "At present, not only is the property tax in China being reformed, but all taxes related to the real estate sector are being reformed. Because the finance and taxation departments don't recognize the pilot models in Shanghai and Chongqing, they have been exploring other models, such as the new real estate tax reform pilot in Hubei and Hunan provinces. How to change the property tax? Is real estate tax reform a universal tax system or a partial tax system? These specific issues are still inconclusive. " Chen Baocun, president of the Real Estate Branch of the Asia-Pacific Urban Development Research Association, believes that if a heavy tax system is adopted at the beginning of the pilot, it is likely to fail. If the general tax system and the light tax system are adopted, it is easy to pass the pressure on to the renter. The current situation that China's 250 million floating population needs to rent houses cannot be changed in the short term. If the property tax is promoted, the homeowner will pass on the property tax paid to the terminal renter. In addition, in the process of second-hand housing transactions, the extra taxes and fees will be easily passed on to the end buyers. Chen Baocun believes that it is a long-term process to levy property tax generally. At present, the time to promote property tax in China is not mature, because there must be a legal basis for taxing personal property, and there are no relevant laws and regulations for levying property tax in China. This is the fundamental reason why the property tax cannot be universally implemented, so it is impossible to achieve universal taxation in a short time. To levy a property tax, we must first clarify the property rights of the house. He said that there are still a large number of houses with small property rights and houses with unclear property rights, which makes it difficult to carry out housing evaluation. The reform of land system, housing system and property right system is a complicated work, which involves almost everyone. It will be a historical joke to promote the property tax in an all-round way if the preliminary work is not done well. "The real estate tax has been officially implemented for a long time. In fact, the current tax reform has already encountered the ceiling effect. The biggest advantage of property tax is that the house is real estate, but now some people say that it is necessary to consider the area over which the property can be collected, which completely complicates the simple problem. The principle is that as long as the house is fixed in the area where the government provides public services, it is necessary to levy property tax. This has nothing to do with how many sets there are and how many areas there are. If the house is in the countryside and does not enjoy the government's public services, then there is no need to levy property tax. " An industry insider said. "I think it is an idealized state for Minister Xie to emphasize the combination of property tax and other taxes and fees. It is our direction to turn all real estate-related expenses into standardized taxes, that is, to turn fees into taxes, so that they will eventually be included in the standardized tax scope. First of all, the Ministry of Finance can only manage tax revenue, and other fees are managed by the Ministry of Land and Resources. Taxes and fees related to land and real estate are not managed by one department. It is difficult to merge. It has been suggested that economic activities are aimed at property tax and urban land income tax. First of all, they must change the original backward collection method, and then expand it to social units beyond actual needs. My opinion is that the government will also levy taxes in the future, and now it is tax-free. In the future, the property will be taxed if it exceeds the area. " The above-mentioned person said. I love this great cause. Hu Jinghui, vice president of our group, said: "I think the pilot scope will definitely expand in 20 13 years. The fundamental reason why the property tax is so urgent is that local governments must find relatively long-term sources of fiscal revenue. " In the past 10 years, local finance basically relied on land sales. But the real problem is that the land that can be sold is getting less and less, and even it is almost exhausted. Although 70 years later, the government can expropriate commercial housing land again, but so far, most houses may have more than 50 years to reach 70 years. "Hu Jinghui explained. @Lyn_laugh: The news that the property tax is levied at "40 square meters per capita" only makes everyone shift from the focus of discussion on whether it should be levied to "how to levy it reasonably", that is, with a worse news, let everyone reduce the negative psychological impact on the bad news before, and finally "obey the public opinion" and come up with a more reasonable final plan. Do you think so? @ Moon River: Land is a non-renewable resource and belongs to the whole people. Housing is a product of people's livelihood based on land resources. This product determines that every member of society should enjoy the right of equal opportunities. It's like a train ticket in Spring Festival travel rush. If you have money, you can buy a sleeper and a first-class seat, but you can't take a few seats, let alone resell train tickets at a higher price. You have to ensure the needs of other passengers, just like housing. Property tax is to maintain this fairness. @ 中中中中中: At present, it is the general trend to push the property tax across the country. After the introduction of the property tax aimed at curbing the speculative demand for investment, the speculative houses will be sold soon. In the case of limited market demand and more houses, the house prices will go down. @Chaos_Rules: These measures, such as restricting purchases, limiting prices, and levying property tax according to the excess area, have aggravated the expectation of rising house prices on the other hand. Limit purchase and price will accumulate market energy, and the market will always find a breakthrough. The so-called property tax is levied according to the excess area, which drives ordinary people to replace low-priced big houses with high-priced small houses. It is very important for the government to do its duty well. The market is not chaotic, and the more it is disturbed by policies, the more chaotic it is.
