Description

Background

 

Many lower-income countries struggle to collect revenue from property taxes, with collection estimated at just ten percent of levels in wealthier nations. Administrative limitations have led to regressive, inequitable systems that fail to link revenues to service delivery, resulting in low compliance rates. However, recent reform experiences have shown the potential of tailored strategies to strengthen property tax systems and promote progressive, equitable taxation. LoGRI’s inaugural conference will convene policymakers, researchers, and administrators to discuss lessons from these experiences about strengthening property taxation and local revenue systems.
