Since the abolition of the welfare housing distribution policy and the implementation of the monetary reform of the housing system in 1998, there has even been a bubble phenomenon despite the rapid development of the Chinese real estate market. However, considering that the reform of real estate tax will affect the whole system, and there are still various disputes about real estate tax in society, the Chinese government is very slow in real estate tax reform. Given this, under the background that the State Council has been authorized by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress to pilot real estate tax reform, it is still necessary to explore the legitimacy of China’s real estate tax reform promotion. In general, under the background of solidly promoting common prosperity, resolutely implementing the policy of “housing to live without speculation,” and promoting the stable and healthy development of the real estate market, coupled with the fact that the real estate market has already seen a severe bubble phenomenon. China’s active promotion of real estate tax reform has a solid theoretical and practical basis and has urgency and feasibility.

The 1986 Tax Reform Act is likely to extend optimal holding periods of depreciable assets until the point in time at which the tax basis is exhausted. Additionally, practitioners in the real estate markets tend to argue that the 1986 Tax Reform calls for a major reduction in depreciation tax benefits. Despite the reduction in benefits, values of depreciable properties may nevertheless rise. This paper analyzes various tax legislations in terms of the effect these legislations have on the optimal trading policy for depreciable assets. The tax code of the 1981 accelerated cost recovery system (ACRS), the 1984 ACRS, and the new 1986 Tax Reform Act are compared.
