Cadastral Tax in the Context of the Constitutional Principle of Tax Justice

Summary/Abstract: The main feature of the currently existing system of property taxation is that the taxation basis is an area of land or an individual, as it is in real estate tax and forest tax or conversion occurring in the construction of agricultural tax. The adoption of such a tax base results in a significant simplification of the tax assessment. Nevertheless, in many situations, the value of taxes paid is significantly different from the actual value of the property which should undoubtedly be seen as a negative phenomenon. The introduction of a cadastral tax would certainly successfully increase government revenues even with neutral tax rates. A modern tax system that would contain information about all properties in Poland and their owners would make it difficult to evade taxes. Surely, therefore, property tax reform towards linking it with market value is essential.
