      Local taxes

      "Requiem" for rental values and intercommunality

      • 84 pages
      • 3 hours of reading

      The book proposes a new calculation rule for local taxes on private real estate and land, advocating for property value assessment rather than rental value. It emphasizes that all residents, whether owners or tenants, benefit from local infrastructure and services, and thus should contribute through a minimum local tax. Additionally, the author calls for a territorial reform of communes, suggesting a reduction in their number by merging them based on inter-municipalities, which would be eliminated in the process.
