Abstract
After 20 years of political and legal disputes, the German Federal Constitutional Court will render a judgment on the constitutional compliance of the property tax in the course of 2018. The underlying question is whether the actual unit value has to be considered an outdated tax base and thus should be reformed. But there are different proposed reform options, some of which are fundamental, such as the land value tax. The property tax reform affects the distributive incidence of the local property and the federal tax revenue equalisation. In order to speed up the reform process, it may be crucial to simplify the regulation of the tax base. The reform has to avoid overburdening the citizens, but since it constitutes the crucial pillar for local self-government, it should not reduce local revenues. Since the property tax violates the ability-to-pay principle anyway, one author proposes a simpler design that preserves municipal and state revenues and also inhibits overall tax increases.
