Summary/Abstract: Looking at international taxing practice, the observed assignment of tax powers to local and regional governments seems to comply only partially with the recommendations of theory: although almost everywhere local governments collect taxes on property and central governments collects most income taxes, in some countries income taxes are a considerable source of revenue for local governments, given the large financial resources for devolution of public functions they can provide.In most federations and regional governments such taxes take the form of surtax on the national tax base.
