"Sinocism is the Presidential Daily Brief for China hands"- Evan Osnos, New Yorker Correspondent and National Book Award Winner
Regular readers of this blog know that I have been skeptical of both the likelihood of an imminent introduction of a residential property tax in China as well as arguments by pundits that said tax will have a significant dampening effect on real estate prices. [UPDATE: Said “pundit”, Patrick Chovanec, has just posted a good comment clarifying his position.]
Credit Suisse just released a very interesting analysis of the likely impact of possible new residential property taxes in China. The report states that property tax has been decided and its release is imminent, something that is not yet provable unless the Credit Suisse analysts have a very senior source in the central government in Beijing.
That issue aside the report is very much worth reading. It analyzes the likely stock market reaction, the possible effect on home prices and the housing market overall, and the expected impact on local government finances. Among the conclusions:
Property Tax: Would It Crash The Market?
China has decided to extend the holding tax for commercial properties to investment purpose residential ones, to avoid legislation issues for implementing a new property tax. Several industry experts, including those that we brought to meet investors recently, believe that the property tax could cause China’s residential property prices to drop 40% or more. In our opinion, however, property tax is just one component of China’s property policies – it should not crash the property market and its upcoming implementation could actually signal a bottoming in China’s property sector.
Property Tax – Only Part Of The Housing Solution
We expect it to cool the sentiment in the near term for investment and speculation in the property market, but property tax by itself cannot solve the housing issue. The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security’s proposal to double average wages in China within five years, if approved and implemented, should improve the affordability ratio significantly. The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development also announced plans of large scale Public Housing construction. If this plan is implemented strictly, we should see a surge in public housing supply in the next few years, although the total amount may stay small in the foreseeable future – as of 2009, public housing stock accounted for less than 5% of total housing stock in China.
Other Countries’ Experience – It’s Unlikely To Crash The Market
We draw this conclusion after studying the property tax situation in many countries. Specifically, we studied countries that started to implement property tax only in recent decades, such as South Korea and Mexico – both started to implement property tax in a hope to reverse the surge of property prices – just like China. Neither of the two countries’ implementation of property tax caused a crash in the property market.
China’s Current Plan – Limited Monetary Impact
Based on the current plan’s tax rate, scope and difficulties on implementation, we expect the impact on the property market to be less than what the current stock market assumes. Our detailed scenario analysis also shows that, even if the full amount of property tax can be successfully collected, the monetary impact on home-buyers should be manageable.
In fact, scenario analysis on Shanghai’s proposal shows that the new property tax’ net impact on monthly payments shoud be only 5% to 6% – an impact even smaller that that caused by a major interest rate increases.
A Gradual Reform – No Near-term Replacement For Land Sales
One of the key targets for property tax is to reduce the local government’s reliance on land sales as the main financing resource. However, this goal cannot be realised in the foreseeable future, in our view.
Land sales has been an important source of revenue for local governments and property tax has been below 4% of local government revenue. Therefore, as discussed earlier in this report, local governments may be willing to implement property tax for additional revenue, but will have to continue to rely heavily on land sales for years to come, in our view.
The report also discusses the likely structure of the property tax and suggests something that I have not seen discussed much elsewhere, that the tax may in fact not be assessed annually but rather upon change of ownership. I am not sure this aligns with the goals of policymakers, but it is an interesting suggestion:
Property Tax Is Likely To Become Transaction-based Rather Than A Holding Tax
Due to the difficulties in tax administration and collection at the local level, residential property-related taxes – from land sales markets to secondary housing markets – are all collected after transactions are through. According to industry experts, although property tax is designed to be a holding tax, it may become feasible to collect upon changes of ownership. In this case, the property tax may actually propel property price appreciation in the long term, although the negative market sentiment in its implementation causes could reduce property prices in the near term.
The full report is embedded below. It is worth reading.
We will only know if China is going to introduce a property tax if and when the central government officially announces it. Until then any “leaks” into the press should be considered speculation that is serving the agenda, and possibly the stock market positions, of the source.
What is quite remarkable about China punditry, both economic and political, is that you can be wrong for almost a decade or more, as Gordon Chang has been, and still be considered a serious and intelligent source of information. The rise of the China bears has certainly invigorated the market for “analysis” supporting their positions, credible or not.

Great reading. Since I’m the “pundit” who is cited as being pro-property tax, I guess I ought to clarify my position. The post I wrote mainly criticized higher transaction taxes, which I think do little to correct what’s driving China’s property market, with a property holding tax, which at least begins to address the reasons why people funnel so much money into unproductive real estate investments. I don’t mean to suggest that a property holding tax is some kind of silver bullet. In fact, I would say that a holding tax is actually more useful in preventing a bubble from forming in the first place (or preventing the current one from getting bigger) than deflating one that has already been formed. The fundamental problem, in my view, is a lack of available and attractive investment alternatives for average Chinese citizens. A holding tax could alter marginal incentives, in this respect, but any money taken out of real estate would have to find somewhere else to go, and if the perceived risk-return gap with other assets is large enough — and I think it is — that incentive might not be enough to push people out of real estate. So while I do see a property holding tax as part of the solution — particularly if the revenue were to go to replace local governments’ reliance on land sales — it’s just a part, and a long-term one at that.
Thanks for clarifying this. I will update to point to this comment. A
very useful one

Property tax aimed only at high-end residences

Don’t hold your breath. And even if it happens it will have minimal
impact. There is no evidence to support assertions that a new property
tax will have any meaningful impact on prices. People are pushing the
wrong medicine for China’s housing market. It needs massive new supply
coupled with the current demand tightening measures like increased
mortgage rates and no new loans for 3rd or more properties
oh, on this we agree. i do think they’re going to do it but i dont think its going to work. the other issue of course is the lack of good investment options.
and completely agree with your comments on chang.

Another one of it’s managers Nicholas Campiche ( Now Head of Pictet – Alternative Investments.) concocted a letter pretending to be a client and closed his account. The senior partner (Ivan Pictet.) sought to have numerous documents destroyed,along with those copies held in their London office’s of Pictet Asset Management. Initially stating that they were forgeries then their lawyers Peters & Peters – Monty Raphael –and the barrister Charles Flint.Q.C. later had to admit in Court that the documents were genuine.

(1) It is a criminal offence for a bank to knowingly act for an undischarged criminal bankrupt in so far as it seeks to assist that criminal bankrupt in the fraudulent movement of monies. ( Money Laundering.)
(2) It is a criminal offence for a bank to lie to the police and the bankrupts trustee in bankruptcy in so far as any knowledge of, or dealings with the bank was refuted .
(3) A bank can be guilty of Contempt of Court if it fails to comply fully with the Courts order for discovery .
(4) The banks contempt is further compounded if it fails to address its error after it is specifically drawn to the to its solicitors attention. ( Monty Raphael).
(5) It is a criminal offence under the Financial Services Act to seek to destroy evidence that might be relevant to an investigation .
(6) It is a criminal offence not to relinquish control of funds to the Trustee immediately the fact of the bankruptcy is drawn to the banks attention.
(7) It is a criminal offence to lie or otherwise obfuscate the lawful and proper enquiries of the F.S.A.
In the F.S.A. cover up , they concluded that there had been “ Rogue” elements in Pictet & Cie’s , London operations . They had been moved from their London Office so who was there left to prosecute. “ Unbelievable.”
On Dec 9th,2008. the complaint was sent to 150 Members of the House Of Lords and 230 Members of Parliament.

(1) Bankers who behave irresponsibly should face professional consequences.
(2) If anyone is found to have behaved criminally they must be prosecuted.
(3) The F.S.A and the Serious Fraud Office should be following up every lead, and
investigating every suspect transaction .
(4) We need to make it 100% clear –those who break the law should face prosecution.
(5) That we make sure we root out any wrongdoing that may have happened, whoever is
involved, however high or well connected they may be.

*** Were currently waiting to see if the Police and other Law Enforcement Bodies attempt to cover this case up like their F.S.A. counterparts. If they do –“ then watch this space.”
We have recently been informed that due to pressure from our M.P. that the Ministry of Justice have asked Lord Myners to investigate our claims that the F.S.A. covered up the illegal activities of Pictet Asset Management. London.
The consensus of opinion is the Pictet & Cie should be prosecuted , and that their banking licence’s should be taken away in the U.K. ( and fined.)
Their solicitors at Peters & Peters — prosecuted and struck off.

January.—-
2014.
For almost two
decades we have strived to get justice for the injustice we have
suffered at the hands of a world renowned bank— PICTET & CIE.
BANK.
Two yorkshiremen
both running their own small family businesses trying to resolve the
problem by taking all the correct legal procedures to recover their
monies.
The matter was
raised in Parliament – twice– the FSA investigated the matter
concluding that PICTET had rogues operating in their London Bank —
but the rogues had left —saying no one left to prosecute.??? —–
so there.
We then
approached the Financial Ombudsman Service. (FOS) — our case was
dealt with by seven different people —- then our numerous E-Mails
were ignored — nobody would speak to us ——-so there.
We then asked the
SFO ( Serious Fraud Office.) to investigate our case —- the
criteria of our case ticked all their boxes. — we were instructed
not to send them any documents/evidence.—— in fact they wrote to
us advising us to go to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.(CAB.)
Richard Alderman
the SFO boss —- who responded to our letter was the same man who
would not investigate the “ Madoff” scandal or the “Libor”
fiasco.
The MP’s
committee —- said he was sloppy— and the SFO was run like “
Fred Karno’s Circus” ——- so there.
Our M.P.
approached our local Chief Constable to investigate—– he was
called—- Sir Norman Bettison— Chief Constable of West Yorkshire
Police —- a force that made “ Dad’s Army” look like the S.A.S.
They were inept – corrupt —malicious — from top to bottom. We
were criminally dealt with by the Forces Solicitor—- the Head of
the Economic Crime Unit —-and the Chief Constable —– so there.
We were then
advised to pass our complaint against West Yorkshire Police to the
I.P.C.C. – which we did — they advised us to make our complaint
to —- the West Yorkshire Police — we did with reluctance — all
we got was abuse and obfuscation. —– so there.
Sir Norman
Bettison —- The Forces solicitor— and the Head of the Economic
Crime —- have all been removed from their posts and facing criminal
allegations.
—— so there.
We even sought
justice through the Courts — culminating in a visit to the Court of
Appeal-London.— On leaving the Courts of Appeal that day our
barrister a “rising star” informed us — that if that was
Justice then you can keep it. He quit the law and moved to Canada
—– so there.
A few years later
we learned that one of the judges in our case at the Court of Appeal
was related to a senior executive of the Pictet Bank —–so there.
Pictet & Cie
.Bank — voted private bank of the year 2013.
Ivan Pictet —-
Voted banker of the year 2012. —- the senior partner — lied on
numerous occasions and had documents destroyed — also said genuine
documents were forgeries. —– so there.
Ivan Pictet in
Oct. 2013 —- Given the Legion of Honour — but saying that —-
honours were given to Hitler — Eichmann — Mussolini —Franco
— he’s in fitting company. —-so there.
MONTY
RAPHAEL.Q.C. — Peters & Peters.London. They were the banks
lawyers.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. along with Ivan Pictet withheld crucial documents
requested by the High Court —- the FSA —- and the police Fraud
Squad. —-so there.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became an Honorary Queens Counsellor in March. 2012.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became a Master of the Bench in Nov.2012.
An expert in
Fraud —the Doyen of Fraud Lawyers. —– so there.
This says a lot
about Banks — the consensus of opinion is that they are highly paid
“crooks” —- no wonder they voted Ivan Pictet banker of the

Jan 2014.
Over approximately six years of hitting the
internet with a case that involves criminality by a major Swiss Bank
, Britain’s most prominent fraud lawyer and a regional police force
headed by one of Britains top policeman. ( Surely justice should
prevail.)
In fact the complete opposite even though the offences
committed are very serious.
Conspiring to Pervert the Course of Justice.
Perverting the Course of Justice.
Contempt of Court.—————— plus a dozen or
so smaller offences.
In the six years some 9-10million e-mails have been
forwarded to all Members of Parliaments in Britain and Switzerland,
every barrister and chambers in Europe .
Every law enforcement body in both countries , and
America. Even raised in Parliament twice.
The banking fraternity fully aware of this case still
decide to give the Private Banker of the Year Award to Ivan Pictet
— Pictet & Cie Bank. ( Him being the person most responsible
for the crimes committed by him and his bank partners. ) He has
recently
been given the Legion of Honour —– the last thing a
dishonourable person should
be given.
The legal fraternity decided that Monty Raphael of
Peters & Peters . London became an honourable Queens Counsellor
and to rub the salt in six months later made a Master of the Bench.
He also was guilty of all the above offences but so what. At this
rate he might become King by the end of the year.
Our Case against the bank was given to the West
Yorkshire Police to investigate.
The police ( West Yorkshire Police.) headed by Sir
Norman Bettison has not improved as a force on fighting crime. They
are now worse than the days of the Yorkshire Ripper , when they had
him in custody nine times and let him go. If it hadn’t been for the
South Yorkshire Police force catching the Ripper he would have still
been at large to day . Sir Norman and both the Forces Solicitor and
the Head of the Economic Crime Unit have been removed from office and
facing criminal proceedings.
Then they wonder why the man in the street becomes angry
and decides to riot.
Even after six years of exposing their crimes on the
internet , they dare not take legal action to stop us — no
injunctions — no writs – they can’t risk going to jail.
If it wasn’t true we would be open to being sued for
libel – slander—deformation.
All we can do is to continue pressing for justice and up
the pressure on the internet. For the next five years and beyond.

offence to lie or otherwise obfuscate the lawful and proper enquiries
of the F.S.A.
In the F.S.A.
cover up , they concluded that there had been “ Rogue”
elements in Pictet & Cie’s , London operations . They had been
moved from their London Office so who was there left to prosecute. “
Unbelievable.”

We thank –David
Cameron. M.P. ( Canary Wharf Speech.)
PRIME MINISTER.
(1) Bankers who
behave irresponsibly should face professional
consequences.
(2) If anyone is found to
have behaved criminally they must be prosecuted.
(3) The
F.S.A and the Serious
Fraud Office should be following
up every lead,
investigating every
suspect transaction .
(4) We need to make it
100% clear –those who break the law should face
prosecution.
(5) That we make sure we
root out any wrongdoing that may have happened, whoever
is involved,
however high or well connected they may be.
Both Ivan Pictet
and Monty Raphael.Q.C. conspired to withhold crucial documents
requested by the High Court – the FSA — and the Police Fraud
Squad.
Written
Parliamentary Questions received by the table office ..
(1) To ask the
secretary of state what steps he is taking to ensure that Swiss Banks
such as Pictet & Cie do not evade criminal prosecution under EU
law even when the illegal act is committed by a London based
subsidiary.
(2)To ask the
secretary of state what steps he is taking to protect the rights of
UK citizens who seek redress following criminal activities by Swiss
banks with subsidiary offices located in London.

Two yorkshiremen

The matter was
raised in Parliament – twice– the FSA investigated the matter
concluding that PICTET had rogues operating in their London Bank —

so there.
We then
approached the Financial Ombudsman Service. (FOS) — our case was
dealt with by seven different people —- then our numerous E-Mails
were ignored — nobody would speak to us ——-so there.
We then asked the
SFO ( Serious Fraud Office.) to investigate our case —- the

not to send them any documents/evidence.—— in fact they wrote to
us advising us to go to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.(CAB.)

would not investigate the “ Madoff” scandal or the “Libor”

Police —- a force that made “ Dad’s Army” look like the S.A.S.
They were inept – corrupt —malicious — from top to bottom. We
were criminally dealt with by the Forces Solicitor—- the Head of
the Economic Crime Unit —-and the Chief Constable —– so there.
We were then
advised to pass our complaint against West Yorkshire Police to the
I.P.C.C. – which we did — they advised us to make our complaint
to —- the West Yorkshire Police — we did with reluctance — all
we got was abuse and obfuscation. —– so there.
Sir Norman
Bettison —- The Forces solicitor— and the Head of the Economic
Crime —- have all been removed from their posts and facing criminal
allegations.
—— so there.
We even sought
justice through the Courts — culminating in a visit to the Court of
Appeal-London.— On leaving the Courts of Appeal that day our
barrister a “rising star” informed us — that if that was
Justice then you can keep it. He quit the law and moved to Canada
—– so there.
A few years later

was related to a senior executive of the Pictet Bank —–so there.

2013
— Jan.— Swiss MP’ table motion to freeze Tiab Mahmud’s assets of
” criminal origins”
held
in Swiss banks – $18 million held in 5 accounts at Pictet &
Cie. Bank. Bahamas.
Ironically
the Pictet & Cie.Bank partners are bigger criminals than the
criminals who have accounts in the their bank.
The
bank is now seeking to re-structure — to cut the partners liability
– hoping to off load their decades of criminal responsibilty –
and move onwards to carry out new crimes. The Germans are right —
the bankers should go to prison if found guilty of financial crimes..
Both Ivan Pictet
and Monty Raphael.Q.C. conspired to withhold crucial documents
requested by the High Court – the FSA — and the Police Fraud
Squad.
Written
Parliamentary Questions received by the table office ..
(1) To ask the
secretary of state what steps he is taking to ensure that Swiss Banks
such as Pictet & Cie do not evade criminal prosecution under EU
law even when the illegal act is committed by a London based
subsidiary.
(2)To ask the
secretary of state what steps he is taking to protect the rights of
UK citizens who seek redress following criminal activities by Swiss
banks with subsidiary offices located in London.

( America’s Top Lawyer .)
You can be
the richest man in the world with the best lawyers that money can buy
but you cannot win against a man who has got nothing left to lose and
is telling the truth.
*** We
note that there has been a sharp increase in Peters & Peters
partners leaving to go to other practices. Moving does not alleviate
them of any responsibility from any illegalities that may have
occurred at Peters & Peters during their partnership tenure. From
1999 onwards.
The consensus of
opinion is the Pictet & Cie should be prosecuted , and that their
U.K. banking licence should be taken away.
Their Solicitors at
Peters & Peters .London “ struck off and prosecuted..”
*** Started
campaign — June 6th.2008.
5years —- approx
10 .5 million e-mails – – – but still no writs, injunctions or
threats of litigation – – – WHY – – – because it is all true.
*** . The
bigger they are — the harder they fall.!!!
In America —- they would have
all been in prison for the last seven years.
Feb 2013,—
Pictet & Cie Bank Partners remove their unlimited liability.They
realise that all their personal wealth is at risk , the people they
have conned might want their money back.

Update.

Over
the last three years we posted the following on hundreds of sites .
—
***
Were currently waiting for the West Yorkshire Police ;-
Chief
Constable . Sir Norman Bettison
Forces
Solicitor. Mike Percival.
Head
of Economic Crime Unit. Det Chief Inspector. Steven Taylor.
-to
see if they continue to cover up this case like the FSA. – “
watch this space.”
****
We can now state that all the above have been removed from their
posts. All three facing criminal allegations.

These three senior police officials assisted in covering up the
crimes carried out by Pictet & Cie Bank and it’s lawyers.
Swiss Bank
Accounts. 2014.
Is your monies safe
in these accounts —- definitely NOT.
Would you get your
money back if every body decided to withdraw all their accounts –
NO WAY.
Economic Experts
say that there would only enough money to repay 50% of their clients.
Are you going to be
in the 50% — that loose your money.– Get it out NOW.

All
the fines that crooked Swiss banks have incurred in the last few
years exceeds £75.Billion.
It
is also calculated that the secrecy ” agreements” with
regards to tax evation by their clients will cost the banks another
£450 Billion.( paid out of your monies.)
The
banks are panicking — the are quickly restructuring their banks
—- from partnerships —
to
” LIMITED COMPANIES.” —– this will probably mean that
in the future — they could
pay
you only 10% of your monies ” if you are one of the lucky ones”
—- and it be legal.

Law.
May.—-
2014.
For almost two
decades we have strived to get justice for the injustice we have
suffered at the hands of a world renowned bank— PICTET & CIE.
BANK.
Two yorkshiremen
both running their own small family businesses trying to resolve the
problem by taking all the correct legal procedures to recover their
monies.
The matter was
raised in Parliament – twice– the FSA investigated the matter
concluding that PICTET had rogues operating in their London Bank —
but the rogues had left —saying no one left to prosecute.??? —–
so there.
We then
approached the Financial Ombudsman Service. (FOS) — our case was
dealt with by seven different people —- then our numerous E-Mails
were ignored — nobody would speak to us ——-so there.
We then asked the
SFO ( Serious Fraud Office.) to investigate our case —- the
criteria of our case ticked all their boxes. — we were instructed
not to send them
any
documents/evidence.—— in fact they wrote to us advising us to go
to the Citizen’s Advice Bureau.(CAB.)
Richard Alderman
the SFO boss —- who responded to our letter was the same man who
would not investigate the “ Madoff” scandal or the “Libor”
fiasco.
The MP’s
committee —- said he was sloppy— and the SFO was run like “
Fred Karno’s Circus” —– it was an office of fraud.—– so
there.
Our M.P.
approached our local Chief Constable to investigate—– he was
called—- Sir Norman Bettison— Chief Constable of West Yorkshire
Police —- a force that made “ Dad’s Army” look like the S.A.S.
They were inept – corrupt —malicious — from top to bottom. We
were criminally dealt with by the Forces Solicitor—- the Head of
the Economic Crime Unit —-and the Chief Constable —– so there.
We were then
advised to pass our complaint against West Yorkshire Police to the
I.P.C.C. – which we did — they advised us to make our complaint
to —- the West Yorkshire Police — we did with reluctance — all
we got was abuse and obfuscation. —– so there.
Sir Norman
Bettison —- The Forces solicitor— and the Head of the Economic
Crime —- have all been removed from their posts and facing criminal
allegations.
—— so there.
We even sought
justice through the Courts — culminating in a visit to the Court of
Appeal-London.— On leaving the Courts of Appeal that day our
barrister a “rising star” informed us — that if that was
Justice then you can keep it. He quit the law and moved to Canada
—– so there.
A few years later
we learned that one of the judges ( Lord Justice.) in our case at the
Court of Appeal was related to a senior executive of the Pictet Bank
—–so there.
The Ministry of
Justice passed our case to Lord Myners to investigate — we would
rather have had Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck do it. — to this day we
don’t know
—whether he did
anything or not —- probably not — seeing that his wife was on the
Pictet Prix Board.
Pictet & Cie
.Bank — voted private bank of the year 2013.
Ivan Pictet —-
Voted banker of the year 2012. —- the senior partner — lied on
numerous occasions and had documents destroyed — also said genuine
documents were forgeries. —– so there.
Ivan Pictet in
Oct. 2013 —- Given the Legion of Honour — but saying that —-
honours were given to Hitler — Eichmann — Mussolini —Franco
— he’s in fitting company. —-so there.
MONTY
RAPHAEL.Q.C. — Peters & Peters.London. They were the banks
lawyers.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. along with Ivan Pictet withheld crucial documents
requested by the High Court —- the FSA —- and the police Fraud
Squad. —-so there.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became an Honorary Queens Counsellor in March. 2012.
Monty
Raphael.Q.C. became a Master of the Bench in Nov.2012.
An expert in
Fraud —the Doyen of Fraud Lawyers. —– so there.
This says a lot
about Banks — the consensus of opinion is that they are highly paid
“crooks” —- no wonder they voted Ivan Pictet banker of the
year.
It appears that
crimes in the “establishment.” are honoured by their peers.

AMONG THIEVES.”
