forwardNBAsuperstar warship(Howard Dwight Howard)moved toT1Taoyuan Yongfeng Clouded Leopards triggered Taiwan’s professional basketball boom. A few days ago, he bluntly said, “Maybe I’ll buy a house and settle down in Taiwan. As long as I can win the championship here, I can really hang up my sneakers.” Real Estate Value-Added Services Platform Research Director Chen Jieming said, “Georgia, where Warcraft is located, and Taiwan are completely equal and mutual countries, so it is not difficult to buy a house in Taiwan, but you need to pay attention to the problems like loans, inheritance and sale, but really all you have to do is marry a Taiwanese wife. Yeah!”
Chen Jieming explained that there are three types of foreigners buying houses in Taiwan, including “Countries with complete equality and reciprocity”, “Countries with equality and conditional reciprocity”, and “Countries with unequal and mutual benefits”.
1. A country of complete equality and mutual benefit
Treaty of countries with complete equality and mutual benefit with Taiwan40Many countries, including Japan, Korea, New Zealand, UK, USA40State(in the same country)Etc. Real estate transactions in countries with complete equality and reciprocity can enjoy the same rights as people in Taiwan. Georgia, the United States to which Warcraft belongs, is one of them.
However, attention still needs to be paid to “loans, inheritance, tax system” and the issue that some land cannot be owned. For loans, some banks are stricter with foreigners; the tax system, like the Taiwanese one, has tax obligations such as land increase tax, real estate tax and land integration tax, etc.
Inheritance and participation, although the country of equal reciprocity under the “Land Law” No.17According to the article, non-Taiwanese people are prohibited from inheriting or acquiring land, including forest land, fishing land, hunting land, salt land, mining land, water spring land, fortified armament area, and domain border. If acquired by inheritance, the3If it is sold within the year, if it is expired, it will be auctioned by the National Development Administration, and the price will be obtained according to the auction result.
2. Countries with conditional equality and reciprocity
Countries with conditional equality and reciprocity include Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and the United States7States, etc. In addition to paying attention to issues such as “loans, inheritances and tax systems”, the regulations of each country are different. If Singaporeans cannot obtain industrial land in a meaningful sense, they must go throughJTC (Statutory body established by the star government)Rent; Filipinos can only acquire all unique parts of all buildings40%Real estate, etc.
3. Countries without equality and reciprocity
Unequal and reciprocal countries, including Indonesia, Macao, Vietnam, and Myanmar, are absolutely unable to obtain Taiwan’s land by any means, nor can they exercise mortgage or lien rights over Taiwan’s land. Some entrepreneurs doing business in Taiwan but not in countries of equal mutual benefit, sometimes buy houses directly in the name of corporate legal entities for the convenience of living or operating.4If so, sometimes they just buy with cash.
Chen Jieming said that it is basically not difficult for Warcraft to buy a house in Taiwan. In the process of buying a house, in addition to submitting the required documents for general sale cases, it is necessary to prepare more residence permits, passports, reciprocity certificates and land use zoning certificates (non-urban Land in the plan is exempt).
As for the tougher part of the bank regarding foreigners’ home loan lending, in fact, credit and financial resources are still the key. With the popularity of Warcraft, the bank must know about it. Compared with other foreigners, he it doesn’t have this problem.
In the end, Chen Jieming joked, “In fact, Warcraft can also consider directly marrying a Taiwanese wife, and registering the real estate purchased in Taiwan directly to the wife, so that all restrictions can be completely ignored, and you can buy whatever you want.” I want. Sure, although that’s a good thing. Pile, but for this sort of thing, it still depends on whether or not he has the will.
