    Study Notes

    Taxation Concepts

    • Tax Base: The amount of money or property subject to taxation by a government.
      • Calculation: Tax base = assessed valuation - exemptions
      • Example: Total assessed valuation of a town = $20,000,000, exemptions = $4,000,000, Tax Base = $16,000,000
      • Meaning: The town can collect taxes on $16,000,000 worth of property or income

    Mill Rate

    • Mill Rate: The amount of tax per thousand dollars of taxable value
      • Calculation: Tax = (Taxable Value / 1,000) x Mill Rate
      • Example: If Mill Rate is 7 and Taxable Value is $200,000, then Tax = ($200,000 / 1,000) x 7 = $1,400
      • Use: To compare tax burden of different properties and locations

    Tax Rate

    • Tax Rate: The percentage of the tax base that is collected as tax
      • Formula: Tax rate = Tax requirement ÷ Tax base
      • Example: If a town has a tax base of $160,000,000 and a budget of $8,000,000, Tax rate = ($8,000,000 ÷ 160,000,000) = 0.05 or 5% or 50 mills
      • Meaning: For every $100 of taxable value, the town collects $5 in taxes

    Other Key Concepts

    • Tax Base: The total value of the taxable property or income in an area
    • Tax Requirement: The amount of money that the government needs to raise from taxes
    • Tax Rate Formula: Tax rate = Tax requirement ÷ Tax base
