According to the latest regulations of Guangdong Province, deed tax should be paid when signing the sales contract.

There is no mandatory requirement for the property maintenance fund and it can be delivered when the building is taken over.

The down payment should be paid when signing the sales contract.

In addition, I would like to add that regarding the collection fees, in Foshan, Guangdong, there is no need for developers to collect them on behalf of the developers. The home buyers must pay them to the land and resources department themselves.
