Endorsement

"Removing almost all business taxes, including property taxes on improvements, excepting only taxes reflecting the marginal social cost of public services rendered to specific activities, and replacing them with taxes on site values, would substantially improve the economic efficiency of the jurisdiction."William Vickrey, professor of economics and Nobel Laureate

 

Eight Nobel Laureates in Economics have endorsed a tax on land values rather than on production.
