And then it leads to the necessity of real estate tax reform. The reform is of great significance for deepening the reform of fiscal and taxation system, solving the problem of land finance, reducing the gap between the rich and the poor, promoting the healthy development of the real estate market, and so on.The fifth chapter puts forward the basic ideas of real estate tax reform.

According to the data of D city, it makes calculation analysis both on the tax base assessment and the applicable tax rate. The conclusion is that Business real estate tax should use different tax rate for the different industries, and residents’ housing should use central amplitude proportional tax rate, with the specific rate chosen by people’s governments of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government. In addition, combined with the real estate tax levy closed surface, personal housing real estate tax rate and current direction of tax reform, it puts forward that cancelling the land value-added tax reform program is the best scheme.The seventh chapter puts forward the establishment and improvement of real estate tax reform.

The second is that the local government should form an evaluation agency, and to take the method of bulk evaluation of tax base assessment. The third is to build a new tax collection and management mechanism, to set up a new tax collection and management process, and using more of social credit system, to meet collection and management needs of the real estate tax, in particular, the residents’housing tax.The innovation points of this paper mainly include the following points:The first is to carry out the study on the tax burden of the resident taxpayer. The main source of real estate tax has three parts, including the value of their own house, the use of real estate income and other income of residents. Combined with the number of housing each family own and the use of real estate, the tax burden of taxpayers is analyzed, and through the utilization of relevant data, the paper tries to apply the appropriate tax rate and taxable amount of our country’s residential real estate tax to calculate the reasonable range, and puts forward relevant suggestions. The second is a thorough study for the deduction of basic living needs of residents. With the development stage of our country, the author puts forward that in the early state of the real estate tax reform, it is necessary to set up a certain basic living needs, and after the real estate tax system being mature, we could gradually cancel deduct, finally realizing the comprehensive tax policy recommendations. In this paper, the basic housing needs of the deduction method is analyzed in detail, and taking the relevant data of D city as an example, through the calculation of data, it is concluded that the standard of living area per capita is the most feasible. At the same time it also sets policy for over 60 family, lost family alone and left-behind children special family about duty-free for the first suite. In addition, through the analysis of the reality of China’s tax levy, it points out issues of tax deduction on living requirements like family property information untrue and impossibility to check the problem of estate in other places. And it puts forward a variety of ways to determine the home real estate information, the establishment of a national network of tax deduction information library, as well as the identity card number as the only code of tax deduction. The third is that a real estate tax reform should be carried out simultaneously with the relevant tax reform. Through theoretical analysis and data calculation, the supporting reform program has been compared and selected, and the final determination is to abolish the land value added tax as a real estate tax reform program. At the same time, the reform of real estate tax system elements are scientifically designed, and in particular, through the use of simulation assessment data of D city, the real estate tax revenue, tax basis, and applicable tax rate are analyzed and calculated, pointing out applicable real estate tax rate range for the D city. And then it calculates the applicable scope of the national tax rate.The shortcomings of this paper are the country’s real estate tax can not be accurately estimated, and the size of the tax cost can not be reliably measured. When performing data calculations, only taking part of the data as a reference in D city to achieve a rough estimate of the national situation, it needs further examination for the accuracy and guidance. In addition, the research scope is limited to retain link tax of land and property related on the land, but retain link of land, real estate development and trading links tax are not studied.To sum up, combining to the goal of the fiscal and taxation system reform in our country, the paper draws lessons from mature countries of practical experience in the field of real estate tax system, and considering the speed of reform efforts, development and endure degree of society, and the interests of all parties as a whole, it makes an in-depth discussion and research on the difficult problem of the reform of real estate tax legislation, and proposed operable solution that accord with the characteristics of the current development of our country, as well as providing reference for the implementation of the reform.
