China's finance ministry on Friday unveiled tax breaks for people who sell their homes and repurchase another within a year, a move that could push more homeowners to upgrade their housing as the property downturn continues.
Taxpayers' personal-income tax can be fully refunded if the value of their newly purchased home is greater than, or equal to, the value of the home sold, according to a statement published on the ministry's website. The tax breaks will be eligible from the beginning of 2024 to the end of 2025, it said. The rules are only applicable to homes purchased and sold in the same city, it added.
New mortgage-easing rules were also rolled out by Chinese regulators Friday to let more home buyers have lower mortgage rates and down payments, the state-run Xinhua News Agency reported.
