What exactly is the “House and Land Combined Tax” and why is everyone so afraid!

The real estate tax is a real estate transaction tax implemented in 2016, which levies a tax on the actual gains from the sale of houses and land.

This tax system applies to real estate acquired after 105 years when it is sold; short-term transactions are taxed at rates as high as 35% or 45%.

The revised version 2.0 on April 28, 2011 further strengthened the regulations, including heavy taxation on short-term arbitrage, taxation of corporate entities, expansion of the scope of taxation, and prevention of tax evasion by over-reporting of land.

Ordinary residents will not be affected by this tax at all if they do not sell or make any profit.

When the mortgage loan reaches the "bank underwriting" stage, how to choose between the two repayment methods to avoid going into trouble?

When applying for mortgage underwriting, there are two repayment methods to choose from: "Even repayment of principal and interest" and "Even repayment of principal".

For average principal and interest amortization, the monthly repayment amount is fixed, and the total interest expenditure is higher; for average principal amortization, the monthly principal is fixed, the interest decreases month by month, and the total interest expenditure is lower, but the initial monthly payment is higher.

Choosing the right method can help reduce your total interest expense.

The basic misunderstanding about the "grace period" of mortgage loans will lead to a sudden disaster.

When applying for a mortgage, you need to understand the concepts of "grace period" and "extended repayment period".

During the grace period, you only need to repay the interest, and after the end, you will have to repay the principal and interest at the same time. For example, for a loan of 10 million yuan, the monthly interest during the grace period is about 15,000 yuan, and the repayment amount after the end is about 42,000 yuan.

Extending the repayment period to 40 years will shorten the principal repayment period. Homebuyers should evaluate their repayment ability, avoid being misled by low interest rates, and consider additional taxes and decoration costs to make a rational decision on whether to buy a house.

Mortgage Nightmare "Penguin Evil" Water Level 72-2 Clause

Driven by the new Qingan loan plan, direct housing market prices soared, and many banks approached the lending warning line of 28%, resulting in stricter lending.

This is because Article 72-2 of the Banking Law limits the loan amount to no more than 30% of the total amount of deposits and financial bonds.

Buyers now have to bear higher interest rates and down payments.

It is recommended to negotiate with the builder in advance to delay payment or change banks to avoid loan failure.

LINE Pay Lianjia Internet(7722)

Line Pay is a popular product that is used very frequently by Taiwanese people. It has been falling all the way but has not fallen below the expected level. It rebounded to the lowest point of 512, and then began to fluctuate back and forth.

After half a year of fluctuations within 100 yuan, yesterday, July 26, I officially submitted a listing application to the Taiwan Stock Exchange. However, due to the impact of the US stock market on the market, it fell for more than a week. As a result, it was unable to rise. The closing price was 526, but I received news earlier. Those who entered the venue had already started running on 7/22.
