3、稅或增值稅專用發(fā)票不 同，很少有客觀證據確定所謂的物業(yè)稅關系。名義的評估是必要的。此外，因 為很少能自愿遵守，收集信息的成本會較高。可以肯定的是，物業(yè)稅的征收成本可以通過采取措施，增加自愿遵守，提高登 記手續(xù)，并提供一個準確的數據定期流的銷售值的展性來降低，但成本仍然會 相較于一般消費稅，消費稅或非農就業(yè)稅高。物業(yè)稅在發(fā)展中國家或轉型國家 的稅收制度，要通過自身的特點來設計農村地區(qū)的物業(yè)稅盡管他們的收入潛力低，但在很多情況下，農村地方政府財產稅在規(guī)模較 小的地方政府幾乎作為收入的重耍來源。它也可以用來開發(fā)一些民選的地方官 員的問責制度，為納稅人提供服務的質量。近年來，許多發(fā)展中國家重新考慮 他

5、型國家的政府，也在重新考慮在對農地征稅可能會有 顯著受益。理由是在許多國家能把對農業(yè)部門的稅收負擔，提高到其他部門的 水平。農業(yè)戶往往免征所得稅，所以在任何給定的收入水平他們的勞務收入比 非農戶面臨著一個更高的稅收負擔。尤其當有大量的在農業(yè)部門就業(yè)的個人， 是一個嚴重的不公平。盡管上面所述，農村財產稅收勢必呈現和當大的挑戰(zhàn)，從征稅農業(yè)的政治阻 力,以確定如何最好地管理。rajaraman （2004年）稱其為“最難稅”部門的 稅收。一個合理的改革方案制定和執(zhí)行的農業(yè)土地稅。事實上，這是在一些國 家的法律，通常分配給地方政府的收入。根據rajaraman （2004年），bahl, wallac

6、e和cyan （2008）討論的做法，引入推定稅根據土地面積和作物。這樣 的征費將從不同作物的顯著差凈獲得回報（可以說是差的土地生產率）。這項 稅收可能會涉及到一定的面積大小以上所有農場。如果農業(yè)用地的全面調查到 位，并不斷更新，評估就便于管理。展望物業(yè)稅物業(yè)稅已被誤解多年，作為一個管理不好的稅，在發(fā)展中國家和轉型國家難 以充分發(fā)揮其潛力。在很多方面也預示了這點。政府繼續(xù)忽視管理的物業(yè)稅， 結果，它己經更年久失修下降。納稅人己經失去了信心，作為一個公平的稅收。 是否有出路，或者是最好的辦法，來集中對國民收入和消費稅，以此來逐步提 升管理和提高的有效稅率幸運的是，有一個物業(yè)稅改革的前進方向。同時

7、這是一個值得考慮的道路， 因為物業(yè)稅作為能夠分散地方政府提供服務的融資來源的這一顯著優(yōu)勢。通過 兒個“渠道”的改革，可能會導致一個顯著的收入和提高稅收公平。當然，這 個方法取得成功的必要條件是政府的政治意愿實現,并最終保持更好的物業(yè)稅。外文文獻原文title: property tax reform in developing and transition countriesmaterial source: usaidauthor: roy bahlmeasuring administrative successhow would a country come to know that its
