Realtors: government plans to overhaul property tax system could lead to investment losses (2014/12/10)
Plans are underway for an overhaul of Taiwan’s property taxation system, which would include a joint tax on building and land sales. But the proposal faces a backlash from some lawmakers and realtors who worry that strategies to stabilize high housing prices could send investors elsewhere.
While the proposal to tax building and land jointly is still in the discussion stage, there is evidence that owners are already seeking to avoid payment. Among the loopholes being used are transactions that involve passing luxury property from one family member to another.
According to the Ministry of Finance plan, the combined tax would be progressive in nature, with rates of 5 to 45 percent. For example, gains of NT$10 million would be taxed at the maximum 45 percent.
Wu Ping-jui
DPP Legislator
If you tax too heavily, it is like killing the chicken to get the eggs. It wouldn’t help society. More careful thought is needed.
Chang Sheng-ford
Finance Minister
We are still listening to public opinions. We want to achieve this goal, but it could be carried out in phases.
A realtor said that too high of taxes could lead capital to flee Taiwan.
Wu Kuo-yuan
Realtor
If rate of return on investment is higher in other nations, or if taxes are lower, consumers or investors will buy property overseas. Capital could move to neighboring Southeast Asian nations.
The ministry believes that tax reform could be a powerful tool in stabilizing Taiwan’s property market. But without supplementary policies, the reform could lead to little additional tax revenues and loss of investment.

房地合一稅引發恐慌  房市交易量縮
房地合一稅，財政部規劃明年要修法，以5%到45%等六級累進稅率、取代目前20%的單一稅率，不過立委反彈，認為稅課太重，無疑是殺雞取卵，而且不少豪宅大戶，或是投資客，已經開始左手換右手來節稅。
房地合一實價課稅雖尚在討論階段，台北市的一些指標豪宅，已經出現"家人轉家人"等左手換右手，為了節稅的移轉紀錄。
按照財政部規劃，房地合一採5%到45%的累進稅率課稅，如此一來，出售名下不動產，獲利超過1000萬，就必須繳高達45%的所得稅，立委不以為然。
[[民進黨立委 吳秉叡]]
如果一次課得太嚴重的話，殺雞取卵，對整個社會是不是適當，應該要再做詳細的思考。
[[財政部長 張盛和]]
還在聽民意之中啦，那個目標要達成，但是過程可以分階段。
房仲認為，若是課稅太重，恐怕有不利的影響。
[[房仲業者 吳國源]]
國外的部分，投資報酬率認為比較高，可能稅負負擔比較少，所以就有些消費者會想，或投資客會想就到海外置產，有一些鄰近國家東南亞，資金可能會挪到這裡。
財政部想藉稅制改革、穩定房市，但大戶買家節稅下有對策，沒有配套措施的的房地合一稅，不只課不到稅，卻已經造成資金外移，重創台灣經濟。
