热词:二手房交易税费“转嫁”

近日,二手房转让所得征20%个税的消息引爆了交易市场。新华社援引税收专家说法称,若转让自用5年以上且是家庭惟一生活用房,应不在此次规定之列;各地或在4月前后出台调控细化政策。

请看相关报道:

"Sellers will definitely shift the tax increase to the buyer, which will push the home price to a new high,"said Liu, who spends 2,500 yuan renting a tiny room in a two-bedroom flat built in the 1980s in downtown Shanghai.

刘女士说:“卖家当然会把税费转嫁给买房,这会把房价推向新高。”她在上海市区租住了两居中的一小间,房子是上世纪80年代建造的,每月租金2500元。

上文中的shift the tax increase to the buyer就是指交易税费“转嫁”。有些租房者表示,secondhand housing transactions(二手房交易)中的tax increase(税费提高)目的是制止house speculation(房产投机),但最终会推涨housing rentaI fees(房屋租赁价格)。

有专家表示,新政也会对demands from first-home buyers(首次置业需求)以及demands from those who want to sell their apartments and buy bigger ones to improve their Iiving conditions(改善型需求)造成打击。也有人呼吁,reaI estate tax Ievy system(房地产税收体制)改革势在必行。

5.With the public disclosure, buyers'confidence seems to be waning.

事情被曝光之后,消费者的信心锐减。

食品安全的问题关系到人类赖以生存和健康发展的整个食物链的管理与保护。面对同样的课题,让我们看看国外有什么是值得中国借鉴的。

商家不敢冒险——美国

美国:惩罚性赔偿很厉害

不可否认,美国是世界上食品安全体系比较完善、健全的国家。严密的食品安全监管体系、召回制度以及惩罚性赔偿制度可以说是美国维护食品安全的三把利剑。其中,惩罚性赔偿对生产和销售危险产品的企业日益发挥出威慑作用。

环节追溯管理——日本

可追溯重召回

日本米面、果蔬、肉制品和乳制品等农产品的生产者、农田所在地、使用的农药和肥料、使用次数、收获和出售日期等信息都要记录在案。农协收集这些信息,为每种农产品分配一个“身份证”号码,供消费者查询。

日本的食品监管还重视企业的召回责任。日本报纸上经常有主动召回食品的广告。日本采用以消费者为中心的农业和食品政策。食品只有通过“重重关卡”才能登上百姓的餐桌。
