Property Tax Conference 2025: Policy and Practice
Property tax is a crucial revenue source for local governments, ideally characterized by a broad tax base, minimal exemptions, and properties assessed at updated market values. Effective administration, appeal processes, and enforcement are key to generating sufficient revenue for services. However, in many countries, property taxes do not meet this ideal due to challenges like inadequate legislation, weak administration, or unpopularity. This conference aims to explore global experiences in addressing these challenges, sharing insights from international experts on legislation, valuation, tax policy, and administration, with a focus on improving property tax systems.
