In 2013, the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China proposed for the first time to speed up real estate tax legislation and promote reforms in a timely manner. In the “Legislative Plan of the Standing Committee of the Thirteenth National People’s Congress”, the real estate tax law is included in the first category of projects, which is a draft law with relatively mature conditions and is to be submitted for review during the term. However, during the term of the 13th National People’s Congress Standing Committee, the real estate tax law was not submitted for review.

Tian Zhiwei, deputy director of the Institute of Public Policy and Governance of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, believes that even if real estate tax legislation is promoted in a timely manner, attention must be paid to tax collection methods and techniques. We can consider piloting real estate tax from the incremental part instead of reforming the existing market in one step.

In addition, the three major types of taxes, the value-added tax law, the consumption tax law, and the customs tax law, are included in the first category of projects in the “Plan”. In the long term, establishing a modern tax system and enhancing the role of personal tax in regulating income distribution will remain an important direction for personal income tax reform. When conditions are ripe, relevant legal amendments may be steadily advanced.
