老妈来电，说是住不惯市中心的高楼，建议挪回带花园的小楼。But the timing is bad. I cannot sell the high-rising condo and buy a new flat one without generating tax loss per the new rules effective on the Children's Day. 新政策几乎未给市场留下缓冲期。6月1日起，对购买住房不足5年转手交易的，销售时按其取得的售房收入全额征收营业税；个人购买普通住房超过5年（含5年）转手交易的，销售时免征营业税；个人购买非普通住房超过5年（含5年）转手交易的，销售时按其售房收入减去购买房屋的价款后的差额征收营业税. My question is how much is the tax rate? 5%? or 20%? based on the total transaction price? or on the capital gain figure only?
Well, another option is to rent a place for my parents and lease out their condo to avoid buy/sell activities. 以不变应万变！
