Topic Reading-Vol.580-11/12/2013

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
Beijing, Shanghai divorces soar over property tax.
They seem to be very sensitive to saving money, aren’t they?
The richer people become, the more sensitive they are when it comes to saving taxes. The new riches in China love to invest their fortune on residential properties, pushing the prices in the market too high for ordinary workers especially in major cities. Yet it is highly speculative, they still keep buying and owning apartments that they have no plan to live in. And the both national and local governments are trying to slow down such trend by imposing higher tax rate on married couples who own three or more such properties.
How they reacted? Divorce tentatively to avoid such property tax and remarry.
Enjoy reading and learning about how responsive the rich could be to make and save money in China.
