L’impôt sur la propriété est souvent une source sous-exploitée de recettes publiques locales. Dans de nombreux pays, un impôt à large assiette, perçu à des taux raisonnables, pourrait générer des recettes nettement plus élevées et couvrir la majeure partie des coûts liés à l’amélioration des services publics locaux. La présente note offre un guide pratique pour la conception et la mise en œuvre de réformes des impôts périodiques sur la propriété immobilière et la mutation de biens immobiliers. Elle aborde les choix fondamentaux qu’ont à faire les décideurs sur l’assiette et le taux de l’impôt sur la propriété, ainsi que les principales fonctions de l’administration fiscale dans la gestion de la perception de l’impôt : évaluation, facturation et recouvrement. Les conseils contenus dans cette note découlent d’une analyse documentaire et des connaissances tirées de l’expérience du département des finances publiques dans le renforcement des capacités en matière d’impôt sur la propriété. La note reprend et met à jour certains des travaux d’analyse de Norregaard (2013) tout en fournissant des conseils plus détaillés sur les aspects pratiques de l’adoption de réformes de l’impôt sur la propriété. Elle a été rédigée dans le but d’assister les pays en développement à répondre à leurs besoins en matière de mobilisation des ressources, mais les aspects liés à la conception sont également pertinents pour les pays avancés et les pays émergents qui cherchent à accroître la productivité des recettes de l’impôt sur la propriété.

Urgent steps are needed to arrest the rising human toll and economic strain from the COVID-19 pandemic that are exacerbating already-diverging recoveries. Pandemic policy is also economic policy as there is no durable end to the economic crisis without an end to the health crisis. Building on existing initiatives, this paper proposes pragmatic actions at the national and multilateral level to expeditiously defeat the pandemic. The proposal targets: (1) vaccinating at least 40 percent of the population in all countries by the end of 2021 and at least 60 percent by the first half of 2022, (2) tracking and insuring against downside risks, and (3) ensuring widespread testing and tracing, maintaining adequate stocks of therapeutics, and enforcing public health measures in places where vaccine coverage is low. The benefits of such measures at about $9 trillion far outweigh the costs which are estimated to be around $50 billion—of which $35 billion should be paid by grants from donors and the residual by national governments potentially with the support of concessional financing from bilateral and multilateral agencies. The grant funding gap identified by the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator amounts to about $22 billion, which the G20 recognizes as important to address. This leaves an estimated $13 billion in additional grant contributions needed to finance our proposal. Importantly, the strategy requires global cooperation to secure upfront financing, upfront vaccine donations, and at-risk investment to insure against downside risks for the world.

Abstract

The global economy is climbing out from the depths to which it had plummeted during the Great Lockdown in April. But with the COVID-19 pandemic continuing to spread, many countries have slowed reopening and some are reinstating partial lockdowns to protect susceptible populations. While recovery in China has been faster than expected, the global economy’s long ascent back to pre-pandemic levels of activity remains prone to setbacks.
