China adjusts battery consumption tax; UK housing market sees price drop

China's Ministry of Finance, General Administration of Customs, and State Taxation Administration have jointly announced adjustments to consumption tax policies for batteries, effective July 17th. This move aligns with the government's work report and signals a progressive approach to consumption tax reform, focusing on optimizing collection scope, adjusting tax rates, and shifting the collection point. Meanwhile, in the UK, property website Rightmove reported an unusually steep drop in asking prices for new listings over a four-week period ending July 11th, attributed to the FIFA World Cup, record-breaking heat, and high borrowing costs impacting buyer demand.
