The determinants of municipal tax rates in British Columbia
Abstract
In this paper we study the regional pattern of municipal business property tax rates in the province of British Columbia. Reduced‐form tax‐setting equations produce some evidence that municipal governments respond to tax changes in neighbouring jurisdictions. A joint investigation of the determinants of tax base and municipal taxation decisions, however, reveals that it is difficult to interpret this response as arising primarily out of competition over tax base. There is also some evidence that municipal tax rates are sensitive to taxes set on the same base by super‐municipal bodies. JEL Classification: C33, H71 Les déterminants des taux d'imposition municipale en Colombie Britannique. Dans ce mémoire, les auteurs étudient le pattern régional des taux d'imposition municipale sur la propriété foncière commerciale dans la province de la Colombie Britannique. On montre à l'aide d'un modèle en forme réduite d'équations de définition des taux d'imposition que les gouvernements municipaux réagissent aux changements dans les taux d'imposition dans leur voisinage. Cependant, un examen conjoint des déterminants de la base d'imposition et des décisions municipales montre qu'il est difficile d'interpréter cette réaction comme émanant d'une concurrence fiscale. On montre aussi que les taux d'imposition municipale sont sensibles aux niveaux de fiscalité imposés sur la même base par les autorités supra‐municipales.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
