(Reuters) - China is preparing to reduce taxes on home purchases, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Regulators are developing a proposal that would enable major cities, such as Shanghai and Beijing, to reduce the deed tax for buyers to as low as 1%, down from the current rate of up to 3%, the report added.
