The accompanying explanatory statement said the measure “allows local governments to levy a half-percent socialized housing tax on urban land values, with proceeds dedicated to socialized housing and public rental projects.”
”In addition, the bill introduces securitization mechanisms to raise more housing funds through bonds and securities exempted from usual taxes and registration requirements. Private developers will also be incentivized to participate in socialized and low-cost housing projects, with such participation counted toward compliance with balanced housing laws,” it added.
