SHANGHAI will levy a property tax at a preferential rate of 0.4 percent on homes pricedat no more than 27,740 yuan (US$4,403)per square meter this year, the city's housingwatchdog said yesterday.Last year, the threshold at which the 0.4 percent tax was
applied was 26,896 yuan persquare meter. Homes costing more than 27,740 yuan a square meter get a standard rate of 0.6percent.
The latest adjustment came after the city's statistics bureau said new homes inShanghai were sold at an average 13,870 yuan per
square meter last year. Under existing rules, the tax on both new and existing homes is at a preferential rate of0.4 percent if the
per-square-meter price of the property is not more than twice theaverage sale price of new homes in the city for the year before.
Last year, 2.2 percent of new homes were located within the Inner Ring Road and costan average 55,518 yuan per square meter, according
to the bureau. New homesbetween the Inner and Outer Ring Road, sold at an average 20,667 yuan per squaremeter, took a 21.2 percent share
while the remaining 76.6 percent, costing 10,782yuan per square meter on average, were sited beyond the Outer Ring Road.
