ABSTRACTThe mode of administration of property tax determines its buoyancy. The study utilizes key informant method to examine the mode of operation of Edo State Land Use Charge.  The study observes that property tax revenue mobilization in Benin Metropolis is ineffective due to unsystematic tax administration procedure employed by Land Use Charge Department. The study shows that inadequate personnel, public contempt, limited coverage of the tax base and shrouded valuation method are major problems of the Land Use Charge in Benin metropolis. It also reveals that the current property tax administration will not appreciably enhance the internally generated revenue except the mode of operation is reformed. To overcome these challenges it is recommended among others that the implementation of modern and transparent assessment methods for real estate utilizing remote sensing and GIS integrated with computer-assisted mass appraisal (CAMA) be incorporated through a public-involved debate on property tax reform. Modus administrasi pajak properti menentukan daya apung. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode informan kunci untuk memeriksa modus operasi dari Edo Negara Penggunaan Tanah Charge. Penelitian ini mengamati bahwa pajak properti mobilisasi pendapatan di Benin Metropolis tidak efektif karena prosedur administrasi perpajakan sistematis dipekerjakan oleh Penggunaan Tanah Mengisi Department. Studi ini menunjukkan bahwa personil yang tidak memadai, penghinaan publik, cakupan terbatas basis pajak dan metode penilaian diselimuti masalah utama dari Penggunaan Tanah Mengisi di Benin metropolis. Ia juga mengungkapkan bahwa administrasi pajak properti saat ini tidak akan lumayan meningkatkan pendapatan yang dihasilkan secara internal kecuali modus operasi direformasi. Untuk mengatasi tantangan ini dianjurkan antara lain bahwa pelaksanaan metode penilaian modern dan transparan untuk real estate memanfaatkan penginderaan jauh dan GIS terintegrasi dengan komputer-dibantu penilaian massa (CAMA) dimasukkan melalui debat publik-terlibat pada reformasi pajak properti.

Property tax has remained a subject of recurrent debate amongst policy makers, scholars, public officials, real estate valuers, and other stakeholders, virtually everywhere over the years. The contention centres on issues such as the tax base, tax incidence, efficiency, and particularly, equity or fairness, among others. Qualities like ease of collection, difficulty of avoidance, accountability, and transparency etc., that ordinarily mark out property tax as a good tax in principle, are often compromised by controversial policies and mal-administration, particularly the latter. The new Lagos State Land Use Charge2018 (LUC, 2018) came into force effective January, 2018. Ina similar version that its immediate predecessor, the Land Use Charge2001 (LUC, 2001), attracted spontaneous and widespread protests on promulgation, the criticisms and protests that greeted the passage LUC (2018)has been vehement and remained unabated until the government was forced, like it did with the erstwhile law, to succumb to substantial but arbitrary reductions in rates and allowances across board (at two different times to date) but without a formal amendment to the law; an exact replica of what transpired under the erstwhile law and which opened it to abuse and arbitrary implementation with its compliance and revenue yields implications. The last of these reductions which took place in August saw a whopping 50%, and 25% cut in assessed rates on commercial properties and industrial properties, respectively. This study employed the doctrinal research methodology whereby the valuation or assessment aspect of the LUC (2018) was diagnosed with a view to finding amicable resolutions to the equity problem that virtually crippled the effectiveness of LUC (2001) over its seventeen years of existence and is already threatening the survival of the new LUC (2018). Keywords: assessment criteria, equity and fairness, Land Use Charge (2018), property tax.

O IPTU tem destaque na receita tributária dos municípios de grande e médio porte, contudo não é fácil o poder público municipal ter o controle no recolhimento, devido à necessidade de organização, falta do controle no cadastramento dos imóveis e a constante atualização do valor venal. O presente trabalho possui o objetivo geral de descrever o recolhimento do Imposto Predial e Territorial Urbano no município de Quixadá entre 2011 a 2015. Metodologicamente, a pesquisa se desenvolveu pelo método indutivo, análise qualitativa e quantitativa de dados, quanto aos objetivos específicos à pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva. O delineamento utilizado para a coleta de dados é caraterizado como bibliográfica e documental. Ao decorrer deste trabalho teve-se como resultado que: no período de cinco anos ocorreu um crescimento em média de 28,27% a.a., no recolhimento do IPTU. O aumento do recolhimento atribui-se ao esforço por parte da Gestão Pública em mecanismos mais eficientes para o cumprimento da meta arrecadatória e pela implementação da planta genérica. Conclui-se que apesar de ter um crescimento entre os exercícios analisados, existe uma defasagem no cadastramento de imóveis, o que gera uma redução de recolhimento do recolhimento do imposto. COLLECTION AND TAXATION: ANALYSIS OF THE COLLECTION OF PROPERTY TAX IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF QUIXADÁ FROM 2011 TO 2015 ABSTRACT Property tax has featured in the tax revenue of large and medium-sized cities, yet it is not easy the municipal government to have control in the payment due to the need of organization, lack of control in the registration of real estate and the constant updating of market value. The present work has the general objective of describing the collection of the Urban Land and Territorial Tax in the municipality of Quixadá between 2011 and 2015. Methodologically, the research was developed by the inductive method, qualitative and quantitative data analysis, regarding the specific objectives of the research characterized as descriptive. The design used for the collection of data is characterized as bibliographical and documentary. In the course of this work, the result was that: in the period of five years there was an average growth of 28.27% per year in the collection of the IPTU. The increase in collection is attributed to the efforts of the Public Management in more efficient mechanisms for meeting the collection target and the implementation of the generic plant. It is concluded that despite having an increase between the years analyzed, there is a delay in the registration of real estate, which generates a reduction of tax collection.

In spite of the importance of Micro Businesses (MBs) in forming a wide tax base, there isn’t a clear practical approach to tax administration of MBs in many developing countries. Specifically, there is limited information on how digital technology can address tax administration challenges for MBs. This paper explores the potentials of digital technology to enhance tax revenue collection and its administration to Micro Businesses in the Tanzanian context. The data on tax administration, challenges impeding tax administration to MBs, and the potential of digital technology used in tax administration were collected by questionnaire and interview. Interviews were conducted with 24 informants from Tanzania Revenue Authority, and 137 Micro Business candidates from various business sectors were provided with a questionnaire in Dar es Salaam, which is the head office of tax administration and the economic hub of Tanzania. Thematic approach was used to analyse the qualitative data. Descriptive statistics was used to analyse quantitative data through SPPS. The findings revealed that the current tax practices to MBs do not comply with tax theories of low administration cost, wide tax base, and simple-to-administer tax procedure. The findings revealed that the challenges like lack of record keeping, lack of knowledge on tax payment procedures, unknown tax collection channels, and multiple taxes can be tackled by establishing strong relationship mechanisms between TRA and MBs and using digital technology solutions to tackle challenges. The study suggests some digital technology solutions to address the challenges. Leading to that practical aspect of tax administration that can guide policy makers and tax administrators was introduced.

The Individual

The tax on individual property is one of the local taxes of the tax system of the Russian Federation, which is established by regulatory legal acts of representative bodies of municipalities and is a source of income for local budgets. The share of property taxes received by local budgets is not more than 20 %, of which 17.5 % are income from land tax and 2.5 % are income from property tax of individuals. A feature of this tax is that its collection is determined solely by the characteristics of the property, regardless of the individual solvency of the taxpayer. From January 1, 2015 in the Udmurt Republic, the tax base for the tax on property of individuals is the cadastral value of real estate, before that the tax was calculated on the basis of the inventory value. In connection with the involvement of new real estate in the tax turnover and as a result of the cadastral valuation of real estate in the Udmurt Republic, there is an increase in the tax base and income tax on property of individuals. Despite this, the analysis of the property tax of individuals based on the cadastral value made it possible to identify a number of problems of its application in the Udmurt Republic, as well as identify possible solutions.

Real Estate Tax

Summary The real estate tax is usually a fiscal instrument which performs the property tax. When it comes to real property or immovable this term include: apartments, houses, land, cottages, excess housing landscape and more. The real estate tax as a form of the fiscal charges ownership or use of certain forms of real estate, and the revenue from this tax is levied on the area where the property is located regardless of the place of residence of its owner. The tax base for the calculation of this tax usually consists of the market, estimated or annuity value of certain real estate. This form of taxation in the Republic of Serbian applies from 1.1.2012., and its introduction has been replaced by former property taxes. The differences between the two concepts mentioned taxes are numerous and significant. Among the more important are: subject to taxation under the new concept of the real estate rather than law, a taxpayer is any property owner rather than the holder of rights to immovable property tax base is the market value of real estate which is replaced by the payment of taxes per square meter of usable area, the rate of property tax is determined local government, which can not be lower than 0.05% of the estimated value of the real estate nor higher than 0.5% of the appraised value of real estate. The last change, ie. The new law on Property Tax from 5.11.2015. was determined by the tax rate to 20%. The fact that local governments each of them determines the tax rate on real estate which range from high to low rates of multiple, makes this tax is progressive. Progression is particularly expressed in the distinction applied tax rates of developed and undeveloped municipalities, where we have a case that less developed tolerate a higher tax burden, which leads to negative economic effects. However, real estate tax has its own economic and social characteristics which must be aligned with the objectives of tax policy. This means that the real estate tax should be considered from the standpoint of the entire tax system and not from the standpoint of individual income tax forms.

Problem setting. One of the basic principles of land law is the principle of payment for land use, which is enshrined in the Land Code of Ukraine and provides for the payment (in monetary terms) of the object, which is transferred to the property or use of the respective entity. At present, the essence of the principle of payment for land use is also revealed through the existence of a legal mechanism for payment of land, which includes land tax and rent for land of state and communal property (rent). These payments are provided for by the Tax Code of Ukraine. Land payment is a significant source of local budget revenue and is the second largest source of income after the personal income tax. Analysis of recent researches. A lot of scientists, in particular: M. P. Kucheryavenko, T. M. Shulga, E. M. Bogatyryova, Yu. I. Plotnikova, and others are trying to cover some aspects of modern legal regulation of land taxation. Article’s main body. The article is devoted to the study of the modern legal regulation of land tax in Ukraine and foreign states. The experience of OECD countries is explored. The author found that each state has a fairly well-established land tax model that provides for effective tax rates and benefits, an objective tax base, and so on. At the same time, differentiated taxation in different countries varies in terms of taxation, tax base, rates, methods of tax collection, fiscal powers of different levels of government, scope and amount of privileges, etc. A common feature of these countries is that in the rampant countries, the proceeds from the payment of a real estate tax or a pure land tax are directed to the development of urban infrastructure, so it is profitable for citizens to pay this tax. At the same time, the most effective systems of land taxation operate in the countries with developed land and real estate market, since the efficiency of taxation and increase of tax revenues to the budgets depend on the completeness of accounting of the objects of taxation. Conclusions and prospects for the development. Therefore, we consider it expedient and logical to apply the land valuation used in OECD countries. Unlike land valuation (currently in use in Ukraine), mass valuation makes it more fair to assess the taxation of land and its objects from the point of view of the objective distribution of the tax burden in the context of constant changes in the real estate market.

Ownership Of Land

The main focus of this paper is to analyze the effect of local public finance on spatial land use through economic models and empirical evidence from Israel. The theoretic models extends the Alonso-Mill-Muth model by incorporating local public finance. The first finding is that steady population growth provides a channel for land capitalization through the mechanism of long term land property right. This implies a possible conflict of interest if ownership of land leasing revenue and the ad valorem property tax are not consistent. The empirical section examines one of the implications derived from the models highlighting a possible inconsistency between central and local governments due to land ownership centralization. This causes local tax revenue inequality among Israeli municipalities. Statistical evidence shows that cities with a larger share business land use can generate more tax without assistance from the central government, and are therefore more fiscal independent. Fiscal status has a significant effect on the planning time of residential construction. Municipalities with higher local tax revenues have shorter planning time(higher probability of acceptance) conditional on the plan’s size and other features.
