据北京《法制日报》报道，最新房产税征收草案有望于2017年提交全国人民代表大会审议。

　　The absence of a property registration system in China is an obstacle in introducing property tax, said Shi Zhengwen, deputy director of the Chinese Association for Fiscal and Tax Law, in an interview with Legal Daily.

　　在接受《法制日报》采访时，中国财税法研究中心副主任施正文表示，中国缺乏房产登记系统是引入房产税的阻碍。

　　Shi is also a professor of fiscal and tax law at China University of Political Science and Law.

　　施正文还担当中国政法大学财税法教授一职。

　　Shi's opinion was echoed by Feng Qiaobin, a professor of public finance at the Chinese Academy of Governance.

　　中国国家行政学院财政学教授冯俏彬支持施正文教授的观点。

　　Feng said that China needs to have unified property registration in all cities and counties, and that a unified property registration system should be introduced nationwide.

　　冯俏彬教授表示，中国需要在全部城市、县区拥有统一的房产登记系统，这应该是全国性的。

　　Although citizens around China hope property tax can help to curb speculation and the rise of housing prices, Liu Jianwen, a professor at Peking University Law School, said that the tax will mainly help to optimize local tax systems and local fiscal revenue. It will also adjust income distribution, according to Liu.

　　尽管全中国的人都希望房产税可以有助于限制投机活动和增长的房价，但是北京大学法学院刘建文教授表示，税收主要有助于优化本地税务系统和地方财政收入，还可以调节收入分配。

　　China aims to achieve unified property registration in all cities and counties by the end of this year, Xinhua News Agency reported.

　　据新华社报道，中国政府计划在年底实现全部城市和区县的统一房产登记。

　　A total of 21 cities around China have released newly tightened measures for home purchases since Sept. 30, all aimed at cooling down the market.

　　自今年九月三十日起，全国共计21个城市已经发布了最新的限购措施，都旨在为房地产市场降温。

　　Feng said it will be difficult to introduce the property tax in 2017; however, she predicts that it will be introduced by 2020.

　　冯俏彬教授称，在2017年引入房产税比较困难，不过她预测房产税将于2020年引入。
