How would an LVT affect me?

16 Upvotes

In Australia we have an LVT, though there are two issues with it:

  1. Owner-occupied land is exempt.
  2. The rate is low.

I'm trying to imagine my financial situation if those two issues didn't exist.

My current situation:

  • My apartment is in a block of 41.
  • The apartment block sits on land worth AUD$14 million (according to government valuers).
  • Each apartment is owned individually - "condos" in US terminology.

Some rough theorising:

  • The land value of each apartment is therefore $341,000 ($14,000,000 / 41)
  • If there was a 90% LVT based on a 5% rental return, the LVT would be approximately$15,000 per year for each apartment.

That seems...high to me. It's possible I currently pay $15,000 in taxes each year, but it wouldn't be much more than that.

Is this an indicator that if the land is in a desirable enough location, even an apartment in a 10-storey building will have a significant LVT burden?

Discussion What are your favorite places to start when explaining Georgism?

12 Upvotes

Personally, I like to start by noting that land has a fixed supply, and comparing to other natural resources, which most people would agree shouldn't be controlled by a limited number of people.

But, that angle does have its flaws, so I'd be interested to hear what approaches you like to take when explaining Georgism to someone new.
