What is Land Value Taxation?

Land Valuation is a tax assessment concept that helps a community build wealth. LVT fosters private development around public planning of transportation. The resulting tax revenues can more than pay for investments in rail and buses.

Land Value Tax assessment is market-based, relying on the private sector to develop space while the government takes a leadership position in transportation planning.

Deleted lines 41-56:

What is Land Value Taxation?

(from: http://www.labourland.org/lvt/what_is_lvt.php )

Most of the things we see around us were made by man. The buildings we live in, the vehicles we use, the clothes we wear and even most of the food we eat are set in their present form by human effort.

Land is completely different.

No human being has made land, and the value of a piece of land derives from such things as natural fertility, mineral deposits and its position in relation to public utilities, natural harbours, communications and population. Different pieces of land vary enormously in their value. An acre of land in the middle of a town, for example, may be worth many thousands of times as much as an acre of remote moorland. Therefore, a tax on land values is a fair tax, because the person who owns land derives benefit from something which he or she has not made.

The big idea

First off, the value of every piece of land in this country should be assessed. By ‘land’ we mean the site alone, not counting any improvements on the site. Thus, the value of any buildings, crops, drainage or anything else which people have put on, or done to, the site would be ignored.

Then, after the land has been valued, a tax should be fixed on the basis of that value. Of course this wouldn’t mean any more overall taxation, because the introduction of Land Value Taxation would permit other taxes to be reduced or, in some cases, to be abolished altogether.
