TAX ASSOCIATION OF CANADA |
...
|
- 1900 - Quote: "In
its appearance before the Ontario Assessment Commission in 1900,
the Single Tax Association argued that taxing improvements makes
it harder for poor people to live in good houses and also
lessens employment. The Association also provided a logic which
reaffirmed the need to limit the tax base to land: 'To adopt the
site value method of taxation is to invite general prosperity.
With personal property exempt, its increasd consumption would
increase the demand for it and consequently multiply business
opportunities in connection with making, carrying and selling
it. With landed improvements also exempt, larger and better
homes would be demanded to the stimulation of all brances of the
building industry. With vacant lots taxed the same as if
improved, and so much that it would be unprofitable to hold them
out of use, speculative values would decline and business would
be no longer obstructed by exorbitant prices for location.'"

lectures (roughly 40 members)
