Did the housing tax in China start on 03/01

I heard all housing transactions in China are being charged 20% tax starting 03/01?  What else was important about this reform?

Since it already started, why are there so many people doing the transactions now?

Thanks for your input.  I am really curious.

• 以前是可选的，或者是差价的20%，或者是成交价的1%，大家都选后者，现在直接就是差价的20% -八音涧- ♀ (142 bytes) () 03/07/2013 postreply 19:17:45
