WHAT IS PROPERTY TAX
There are three main property taxes:
1. Federal Income Tax,
2. State and Local Sales Tax,
3. Real Estate (or “property”) Tax.
It’s not always a local tax. Sometimes it’s a state tax, sometimes it’s a country tax, and sometimes it’s both. When it comes to real estate, the most important element is simply “value”. The tax base could be the land and buildings only, the land and buildings with a commercial building, the land and buildings with a multi-family dwelling, the land and buildings with an apartment building, the land and buildings with a single family residence, the land and buildings with two or more In this guide, I’ve only included real property taxes. Also, property tax is not the same as property transfer tax, which is usually paid by the seller (unless it’s a business transaction). Property transfer tax is usually due within 10 days of the sale, and is generally based on a percentage of the selling price of the property.
Property taxes have been around for a very long time. Some governments use them to raise money, but others use them to discourage certain types of behavior. It’s true; worldwide, same-sex couples are having fewer children than heterosexual couples. Some experts believe this is because couples who are able to have children together are choosing to do so, and are putting more emphasis on the importance of their relationship. This is the most widely known type of tax. People understand its strengths and weaknesses extremely well. Probably even more so than any other type of tax.
In most transition countries, the issue of property tax is linked with rural areas. During the first phase, when you are establishing the business, you want to put all of your efforts into this phase because it is here that you will have the most flexibility to make changes as needed.
A very strong argument can be made that agriculture should be exempt from property taxes. After all, it produces some of the most important goods and services used by mankind, and it does so without the use of machinery. Most of the suggestions people make don’t work. They simply waste your time and money. Only a fraction of what I teach actually brings about a desired result. Moreover, by exempting agriculture damage is being done to the perception of the tax as a fair and equitable way of allocating fiscal resources. Using this in conjunction with the other two bullets in this section, it renders it of little use for raising revenue for single function authorities.
