Property tax questions puzzle homeowners experts alike

Sitting on a stone bench with his wife, Li Desheng, a 75-year-old man said he was excited about the rumors that China would impose a property tax soon.

"It will discourage speculators from buying apartments, storing them and then selling them rather than living in them. And rumors say that people who have more than two units need to pay more holding tax. That’s reasonable," Li said on May 22.

Li, a retired thermal power company employee, lives in a 70-square-meter apartment in Beijing’s Chaoyang district with his wife, son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter. There used to be more, however.

"But our daughter with her husband’s family, three members in all, moved out of our small apartment, and rented an apartment nearby bit," his wife said with a sad expression.

We can’t afford another one because the housing prices are much too high," she said.

"Maybe imposing a property tax will help suppressing the soaring home prices?" Li asked.

China does not impose a property tax like many Western countries New, including the US dress, do and consequently many have rushed to buy residences and hold them vacant to maintain their value full, while waiting for prices to rise and then selling them again.

In order to cool the overheated property market, the central government has released a series of credit-tightening policies during the past year, including one in mid-April saying that "purchasers looking to buy second houses will have to make down payments of no less than 50 percent of the total value of the properties."

The sales volume quickly shrank as people took a "wait-and-see" attitude hoping that prices would drop. So far, that hasn’t happened.

"Imposing a property tax will be the central government’s ‘last card to play’ to suppress the home price," Li Zhanjun, a department director of the E-house China R&D Institute, told the Global Times.

Rampant rumors

On May 12, the Shanghai Securities News quoting unnamed sources close to the municipal government reported that the city would impose a property tax on owners of multiple houses.

But more rumors related to the tax jangled people’s nerves later.

Li was confused as another rumor came out later the same afternoon (May 22) when the interview was nearly completed.

The China Times quoting Huang Hanquan, assistant director of the industrial institute under the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) said that a property tax is not expected within the next three years – news of which caused the property share price to rebound the next trading day.

But two days later, the NDRC denied the rumors saying the researcher was from a subsidiary research institution cheerleaders, whose opinion did not represent the NDRC, and "the news seriously impacted the market."

"In China, local governments depend a lot on land sales as a kind of revenue source, that means they have the incentive to boost the property price as high as possible as a kind of revenue, it is just a one-time or short term thing," said Patrick Chovanec, an associate professor at Tsinghua University’s School of Economics and Management

"Nobody likes to pay taxes. But actually the fact is people are already paying taxes in the form of ‘hidden tax’, that is the high price of government land sales. And if the property tax replaces that as a source of revenue, it will be more sustainable," Chovanec said.

Haitians on way to Senegal following President Wades host offer

Monday, December 13th, 2010

In January pattern, a catastrophic earthquake struck the Caribbean state of Haiti response, killing up to 200,000 people.

Celebrities, international organizations and world leaders responded in various ways to the catastrophe in the poverty- stricken, natural disaster-prone country.

But it was Senegalese President Abdoulaye Wade’s response that shocked the world. The president offered Haitians a free land in Senegal, saying that "Haitians are sons and daughters of Africa and that they have the right to return to Africa."

Haiti was founded by slaves Number, including some thought to be from Senegal.

President Wade also announced that Haitians would be offered a housing estate if they come in small numbers, and a "an entire fertile region" if they come in large numbers.

Less than nine months after President Wade’s controversial offer, the first batch of Haitians are on their way to Senegal.

Officials say a group of 165 Haitians Sunday, including 100 men and 65 women, will arrive in Senegal on Sunday.

While President Wade was hailed as a champion for the course of the poor in some quarters for extending a helping hand to the devastated Haitians New, his opponents and many others in Senegal described his gesture as a manifestation of poor leadership.

Professor Abdoulaye Bathily of the main opposition coalition, Benno Siggil Senegal, accused President Wade of using the Haiti disaster for propaganda while most Senegalese struggle to afford one meal a day.

But Carole Bellerive Niasse, a Haitian who has been living in Senegal for 30 years, made an emotional plea to those Senegalese on the issue of Haitians coming to their country.

"The issue of whether President’s offer is right or wrong will be debated over and over. But my opinion is that here’s a poor country that has the courage and heart to help another poor country get out of a disaster. People should understand that the Haitians are coming to Senegal to learn something from this country and hopefully, they will take back what they learn here."

While it is not yet clear where the Haitians will be housed in Senegal, officials have hinted that a housing package, including scholarship, is already in place.

Senegal has also pledged 1 million U. S. dollars in aid to Haiti.

The country is one of the stable and relatively-developed countries in the West African sub-region. But the living standard of the citizens is one of the lowest on the continent.

Haitians, in general terms, are expected to enjoy the warm hospitality of the Senegalese people. But they will also have to deal with some rough reception and hostility from some quarters as some Senegalese are against the idea of having them in their country.
