Government consolidations remain highly controversial, and the proposition that consolidated governments operate more efficiently than smaller government units is a contested claim. This research evaluates the outcomes of Indiana property tax consolidation reform of 2008. It documents 19.0–27.0 percent cost savings from consolidated tax administration and estimates cost elasticities. The study finds that assessment costs are highly elastic to assessor workloads, wage levels, and the percentage of agricultural land, but not the assessment quality. Although these findings may assist other fragmented local government units in evaluating vertical consolidation proposals, they may not directly generalize to other areas of government.

The residual view of the property tax assumes that local governments set their levies equal to the difference between budgeted expenditures and expected receipts from other revenues. This approach allows them to adjust the levy to achieve greater overall revenue stability potentially at the cost of tax predictability. This article presents a formal model of the residual rule and uses it to test whether this active approach to property tax administration describes observed fiscal behavior. This test is conducted using data from county governments in Georgia over a fifteen-year period. The results support the validity of the residual rule over an alternative model of passive tax administration.

This essay analyzes the property tax system in New York State. Based on historical and comparative analyses of three critical factors in property tax administration-assessment standards, revaluation, and assessing units-this study reveals that the current property tax administration structure has deep roots in the "home rule" tradition in New York State, making it hard to achieve intradistrict equity in property tax burden for some assessing units. The study concludes that the state's lack of active role undermines public faith in the property tax system and in local governments. The state should not be overruled by the local government politics based on home rule.

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.

RESUMOO presente estudo investiga a problemática da evasão tributária frente à determinação da base de cálculo do imposto sobre transmissão de bens imóveis (ITBI), de competência municipal e distrital no Brasil, a partir de revisão bibliográfica, legislativa e jurisprudencial. O método adotado no presente trabalho aproxima-se do dedutivo, sem, porém, afastar-se de pontuações indutivas – inclusive com considerações críticas ao objeto de investigação. Particularmente, o ponto central da pesquisa refere-se à análise de medidas de combate à evasão tributária adotadas pela administração tributária municipal no que tange à simulação frente ao ITBI na legislação tributária brasileira, especialmente considerando-se alternâncias legais – e infralegais - na consideração da base de cálculo do imposto. Concluiu-se que, embora as medidas legais e infralegais adotadas para combater as práticas evasivas fiscais colaborem, se respeitados certos limites, à racionalização e à eficiência da tributação, sobretudo para averiguar a efetiva manifestação de capacidade contributiva do contribuinte, de modo geral, por outro lado, tal esforço arrecadatório não deve relativizar o respeito aos princípios basilares do Direito Tributário Brasileiro, no qual o princípio da reserva da lei em matéria tributária ou princípio da tipicidade tributária se eleva no âmbito da determinação da base de cálculo do ITBI.PALAVRAS-CHAVEITBI; evasão tributária; base de cálculo; tipicidade tributária. ABSTRACTThe present study investigates the problem of tax evasion considering the determination of the calculation basis for the Transmission of Immovable Property Tax (Imposto de Transmissão de Bens Imóveis - ITBI), with municipal and district jurisdiction in Brazil, based on bibliographical, legislative and jurisprudential review. The adopted method in the present research is close to the deductive one, without, however, departing from inductive scores – including critical considerations to the object of this investigation. In particular, the focus of the research is the analysis of measures to combat tax evasion adopted by the municipal tax administration regarding the simulation of ITBI in the Brazilian tax legislation, especially examining the legal and non-legal changes in the consideration of the tax calculation basis. It was concluded that, although the legal and infralegal measures adopted to combat tax evasion collaborate, if certain limits are respected, to the rationalization and efficiency of taxation, especially to verify the effective manifestation of contributory capacity, generally, on the other hand, such a tax collection effort should not relativize respect for the basic principles of Brazilian Tax Law, in which the principle of law reservation in tax matters or principle of tax typicity is raised in the scope of determination of the calculation basis of ITBI.KEYWORDSITBI; tax evasion; calculation basis; tax typicity.
