The property tax is very importamt local govemment tax which levies on the value of the property, mostly on buidings. In Korea, the assessment method of property tax on improvements is formulabased. The process starts with a classification of improvements according to the index of their type of structure, use, and location, and the rate of their depreciation. The way of assessment is as follows:
Standard price of new improvements per 1 ㎡X indices(type of structure, use, location) X depreciation rate.
In case of the improvement, applied to the special add and deduction categories, the way of assesment is as follws:
The assessment value X the add and depreciation ratio.
The assessment of improvement requires an up-to-date manual of construction costs and substantial fieldwork to record the features of each property. However, the govemment lacks the capacity of staff and is unable to meet the high cost of proper assessment. Furthermore, it is not objective to appply the old assessment method to the changed form of housing �� 새 the social and economic change.
These losses result in disparities between assessed and market values, horizontal inequities, and a failure of the property tax base to keep up with the growth of property value. The horizontal inequities have probabilities to provoke tax revolt.
This study reviews the assessment theory and develops a new advanced assessment method through the empirical analysis.
The new assessment method is as follows:
Standard price of new improvements per 1 m-X indices (site, size, floor)
