This study utilizes the Real Estate Actual Transaction Price Inquiring System of the Ministry of the Interior from 2012 to 2019 to analyze the impact of effective house tax rates on residential housing prices in Taipei. The results show that the degree of tax capitalization ranges from 10% to 14% with a discount rate of 3%. This suggests that a significant portion of the house tax burden is passed on to renters or buyers. In order to address endogeneity, we exploit a substantial increase in the standard value of houses as a quasi-experiment. The degree of tax capitalization calculated based on regression discontinuity design (RDD) estimates also reveals a low level of house tax capitalization. |
