Abstract

The city planning tax is a special purpose tax levied to pay for the expenses required to carry out urban planning works and/or land readjustment projects. However, about half of municipalities do not use this tax and its rates tend to have spatial autocorrelation. We examine the determinants of city planning tax using Logit/Probit model for the taxation and Tobit model for the tax rates. City planning tax seems to be installed based on not infrastructure condition but mimicking behavior.. Property tax, which is not earmarked tax, tends to substitute for city planning tax.
