In 2002, so as to stimulate the real-estate market during hard economic times, the Executive Yuan announced that the land value increment tax (a tax on capital gains from land sales) would be cut in half during a three-year period. When that period ended, the rate for each band of the tax was permanently reduced by 20 %.
