TAXATION OF LAND PROPERTY IN UKRAINE AND SOME EUROPEAN UNION COUNTRIES

Abstract

The article raises a number of issues encountered during the study and identification of legislative regulation features of land fees as a component of property tax in Ukraine, as well as some similar issues and current situation with the land taxation in the European Union countries. An important task of this paper is searching for the directions and solutions of some problems concerning the definition of separate elements of the land tax legal mechanism. The noteworthy feature is that in Ukraine, as in most European Union countries the real estate tax includes the aggregate of two payments: a land tax and a property tax other than land. Another common feature is that revenues from these payments go to the local budgets. In general terms, property tax in foreign publications is defined as periodic and non-recurrent tax on the property usage, ownership or transfer. These include taxes on real property or net assets, taxes on the change of ownership of property through inheritance or gift and taxes on financial and capital transactions. The land tax is an obligatory element of the modern taxation system and a stable source of revenues to the budget, as well as one of the main instruments of the mechanism of state administration in relation to the usage and protection of land property. Land tax is not an earmarked payment and does not contain an indication of a certain equivalent exchange. Land tax, as a financial and legal instrument, does not provide for its payer freedom of choice. Non-payment of land tax within the stipulated time-frame entails negative consequences for the person, in particular, the application of financial penalties. In the context of evolving marketization of land relations, the issue of fair, transparent and affordable taxation of lands as real estate, based on its market value, becomes the issue of particular urgency.
