Chongqing is about to levy property taxes, the message is held in Chongqing from It is reported that the Ministry of Finance has agreed in principle to the introduction of real estate property taxes in Chongqing, the specific implementation plan by the local Government and submitted to the Ministry of Finance for the record. Chongqing Municipality is stepping up and improve the relevant program, is expected to put the file in the first quarter of this year, the introduction of high-grade commercial property taxes.
property tax dispute for several years, Chongqing will become the Once opened the first property tax, and perhaps soon across the country. Therefore, high-end housing in Chongqing will be how the property tax levy, not just members of the public interest in Chongqing, the country is also very concerned about people.
Chongqing property tax levy program has not formally announced to the public, however, the contents of past year tax plan also made many media reports. Since the review this time I am afraid of public opinion are most concerned about two issues: First, the introduction of high-end large-scale real estate property taxes will hurt the middle class; Second, once the property tax levy, local governments will not for income, and further expand the collection of the object and scope.
is no wealthy middle class of financial resources, can not enjoy the government under the housing security, housing consumption can be said that the main force is the most important commitment to high prices and the Real estate tax if it is from the fight against high prices, then, is the most middle class should not be against the target. Therefore, the standard definition of real estate tax levy is essential. Too high, the policy effect is not obvious; standard is too low, it would inevitably spread to the large-scale production.
Earlier media reports said that Chongqing will be high-end housing is defined as the average price of 3 times, the introduction of both the number by area also Antao, villas will have a direct levy. If the program is indeed the case, then, Chongqing has the necessary explanations to the public, the reason so defined, and in accordance with this standard will have a number of people have been levied property taxes in Chongqing. In fact, no matter what kind of standards finalized, Chongqing area should be to the public to enumerate the specific reasons and the scope of tax people. If the tax base is too large, then clearly there is a lot of friendly fire in the middle of the column.
how to reduce property taxes on the middle of the accidental injury, in addition to establishing a reasonable standard of taxation, but also in the tax rates and tax rebates have the necessary policy arrangements. On one hand, those who meet the standard tax the upper middle class, should not be heavily taxed; the other hand, larger houses for those with income just is not high, heavy family burden middle class families, there should be tax exemptions and tax return provisions. Of course, these should be open and transparent manner.
reason for the controversial property tax, more importantly, because the property tax levy by suppress prices for the local government officially opened a new source of wealth. Local government due to falling prices reduced the land revenue, property tax will be made up, and in the near future, the financial exhaustion of land, the property tax levy by expanding the scope is not the extra cash to. Taxation procedures in the present case is not very standardized, this fear is not groundless. Today, high-end housing to levy a property tax, who can guarantee not to mid-range commercial collection tomorrow?
no matter where the property tax levy, the system should be designed to discourage people from such concerns can not be left to local governments over revenue policy of the back door. Relative to the specific property tax levy program design, more importantly, how to limit local government property tax authority.
unfettered power to levy property taxes, then the
solutions, in addition to the local government to respect people's right to comply with a tax administration should have justice, no cure. Therefore, make all looking forward to is the first introduction of Chongqing as a city property tax, not only to return to rational prices as a model, but should be self-limiting the powers of taxation as an example.
even if a tax has good motives, even if it might not hurt the interests of the majority, but the tax to specific groups of civil rights also touched a sensitive nerve. Therefore, the local government to tax private property must be cautious, we should fully consider the social consequences of taxation, but also to respond to the largest concentration of public interest concerns.
