2 Property Tax And Scope For Reform: Reasons for Reform Nature of Reform Preconditions for Reform Gautam Naresh 2
3 Reasons for Reform The main stated reasons for reform have been 1. to simplify the tax system, 2. to raise more revenues from property taxes, and 3. to remove inequities in the tax system. Gautam Naresh 3
4 Nature of Reform focused on changes to the assessment base move to market value administrative reforms to improve the way in which properties are assessed with a view to achieving uniformity in assessment. improvements to collection and enforcement Property tax reform in India focused on assessment system in some municipal bodies. It is switching over to area-based system slowly. However, some other experimentation is also on. Gautam Naresh 4
5 Precondition for Reform Assessment base: Availability of technical expertise. Existence of a cadastre, A land registration system, The capacity of local government, and A solid administrative infrastructure. Political will is needed to ensure that the reform is implemented. Gautam Naresh 5
6 Finally Tax reform is as much or more a political as it is a technical exercise. The inherent characteristics of land and property taxes make this dictum especially applicable with respect to property tax reform. Setting up and administering a decent property tax is a complex and expensive effort. Gautam Naresh 6
7 Finally Reform may be designed To collect more revenues by changing the tax base or improving collection and enforcement. Or, the goal could be to simplify the tax system by combining several taxes or by improving tax administration. Or, it is to improve the fairness of the tax system by introducing a uniform assessment system. Internationally, the experience shows that politics of successful property tax reform are not encouraging. Such reform is seldom easy, usually difficult technically, and often not too rewarding in either revenue or political terms. Gautam Naresh 7
8 Generalization about property tax policy Ten generalizations, however, can be helpful in formulating tax reform: 1. Simplicity as much as possible. Minimum exemptions and uncomplicated rate structures. Reform should emphasize improving the general property tax administration rather than adding special features to affect resource allocation or income distribution. 2. The property tax needs to be viewed as a system, and reforms need to be coordinated by all parties involved in structuring and administering the property tax. Decisions about assessment and collection practices, exemption policy, and rate structure design may be the responsibility of different offices but must not be made independently. 3. In general, a flat rate property tax on all real estate is not likely to be regressive in either the short or long run. Gautam Naresh 8
9 Generalization about property tax policy 4. The distribution of property tax burdens will be more progressive if the preferential treatment granted to owner-occupants occupants is eliminated. 5. The exemption of low-value properties or, better yet, granting all taxpayers a deduction from assessed value will make the property tax more progressive, favor low- income housing development, and ease property tax collection problems. The revenue costs will be small. 6. On balance, it is preferable to tax land more heavily than improvements. Therefore, if increased revenues are to be raised from an existing capital value tax, it is worth considering raising the tax rate only for land, rather than for land and buildings alike. Gautam Naresh 9
10 Generalization about property tax policy 7. If a special tax is to be levied on vacant urban land to speed up its development, this tax instrument should be explicitly linked to a land use development plan rather than applied indiscriminately to all vacant property in the metropolitan area. 8. A property transfer tax is likely to interfere with the efficient operation of urban land markets and should be replaced by more effective administration, and possibly a higher rate, for the general property tax. 9. A land value increment tax is not likely to be effectively administered in developing countries. Efforts to raise property tax revenues would do better to focus on improving the administration of existing property tax systems. 10. The four facets of property tax administration, identification of o properties, record keeping, assessment, and collection-must all be improved to make the property tax more productive. Improving collection efficiency alone will increase revenues in the short run but will not provide the broader base necessary for long-run growth. Gautam Naresh 10

12 OLD SYSTEM Based on rateable value linked to annual rent reasonably expected Self Occupied Rented Residential Commercial Annual Rent Cost of land Market value of land at the time of at the time of purchase commencement of construction + + Construction cost Construction cost Tax rate Residential 20 % of Rateable Value Tax rate Non Residential 30 % of Rateable Value Gautam Naresh 12
13 Defects Wide variation between similarly placed properties. Incidence of tax in old regular colonies lower than in new unauthorized colonies Assessment can be subjective Scope for collusion by owner Discretion at lower level leading to corruption Long term tenancies - freezing of valuations Harassment by inspectors Excessive litigation - loss of revenue.

17 MCD Switches to New Tax Regime After 12 years of debate, the MCD has finally decided to adopt the new system of assessing property tax through the Unit Area Method. This comes into effect from April 1, It is part of the urban reforms undertaken by the MCD on the direction of the Urban Development Ministry. The switchover has been debated since There were two committees, one under the late Congress leader, Jag Pravesh Chandra and another under the BJP leader, Mr VK Malhotra, set up to adopt the UAM. The MCD also had held a series of seminars on UAM system during The groundwork for implementing the system was started only a couple of years ago. The Expert Committee was set up under Mr K Dharmrajan. It is claimed to have taken least time in implementation compared to other cities in India. Gautam Naresh 17
