PROPCAFE Peek : The Lake – Phase 5A @ Jade Hills, Kajang By Gamuda

PROPCAFE Guide : 产业盈利税 （RPGT） 后，下一步是 财富税吗？What is next after RPGT rate increment? Wealth Tax?
2014年的财政预算案已经尘埃落定，坊间对于政府提高的产业盈利税的后续影响，抱持好坏参半的态度。专家认为，RPGT 的提高，或许可以打房，但是是否可以降低房价，似乎言之过早。 盈利税从2014年伊始，在3年以内出售的房子将被征收30%的 盈利税，可是一般新房产的建筑所需时间都介于3-4年期间，所以对于那些快手快脚，建竣后即脱手的炒家影响不大，炒家只需交屋后将房产出租1-2年后才售出，就可完全避开产业盈利税。 明年开始，预计许多卖家会把产业盈利税的成本转嫁给其他买家，进而提高房地产的价格。 如果买家的资金充裕，或许可以做两项买卖交易，一则现金交易款项部分，另一则却是正式买卖合同的售价。此举可为卖家省下盈利税，卖家进而可将省下的盈利税与买家分享。 可是，朝令夕改的政府政策，无疑让投资者无所适从。以下图表为过去20余年以来的产业盈利税。从图表上不难看出，过去短短的五年里面，盈利税更改了4次。其中2014 年的盈利税更恢复了1996-2007年的税率 DisposalWithin 1996-2007 2007-2009 Budget2010 Budget2012 Budget2013 Budget2014 1st year 30% 0 5% 10% 15% 30% 2nd year 30% 0 5% 10% 15% 30% 3rd year 20% 0 5% 5% 10% 30% 4th year 15% 0 5% 5% 10% 20% 5th year 5% 0 5% 5% 10% 15% […]
