Summary/Abstract: In the article recommended changes have been proposed to the existing property tax structure, which does not effectively fulfil its fiscal and non-fiscal functions. There is room for improvement and modification between the current superficial system and a tax based on property value. Utilising the research conducted as part of the SGH-UEW Interuniversity Grant and a project prepared for the Institute of Finance at the Ministry of Finance, the authors present their own proposals for changes in the existing tax system. A scenario analysis of a local zone tax has also been conducted, demonstrating the flexibility of the proposed solutions in terms of adapting rate differentiation criteria to the specific characteristics of individual municipalities, using the capital city of Warsaw as an example.
