Importance The article reviews methodological aspects of property taxes and their influence on fiscal burden of payers. The article puts special focus on households.
Objectives The research devises methods to assess fiscal burden and subsequently evaluate how property taxes and other finance influence the welfare of some households in particular and as a whole.
Methods The research involves methods of analysis, comparison, analogy, generalization, detailed elaboration, abstraction.
Results I formulated my own methods to assess fiscal burden on households and illustrate how I assessed the impact of property taxes on the financial position of the certain household.
Conclusions and Relevance Under the current socio-economic circumstances, fiscal and nonfiscal payments charged on households obviously tend to grow. It is especially true about property taxes and payments for communication and utilities. Considering the general decline in standards of living, increasing unemployment and other adverse factors, it may have unfavorable economic and social implications. The existing fiscal burden assessment methods fail to meet today’s requirements of stakeholders who make decisions on fiscal policies as they cannot obtain complete and reliable information on the national situation. I devised my own method to assess households’ fiscal burden, which competes with the existing ones and allows to get more accurate information for making decisions in fiscal policy.
