In 2023, the income of local governments in China generated from the sale of land-use rights amounted to around 5.54 trillion yuan. After the business tax was abolished and replaced by a value-added tax in 2016, local governments lost a significant share of their income. As a result, they turned towards the sale of land use rights, which resulted in local governments' necessity to facilitate real estate development independent of actual demand.
