This kind of tax is typically imposed where there is a legal requirement for registration of the transfer, such as transfers of real estate, shares, or bond. Examples of such taxes include some forms of stamp duty, real estate transfer tax, and levies for the formal registration of a transfer. As we are aware that, real estate industry is at boom (pick) level, PTT is already implemented by many countries and earning high revenue, if state government implements PTT, it will generate high revenue to state governments. A property transfer tax would allow local government to capture some of the increase in land value each time a property is sold. It is an efficient way of capturing a small percentage of the increase in land value. How PTT generate revenue for British Columbia- The provincial property transfer tax is budgeted to bring in $900million in revenue for the provincial government in the 2010-2011 fiscal year. The tax is applied to the sale of each property at a rate of one per cent on the first $200,000 in value, and two per cent of the value greater than $200,000. The revenue generated by this tax is very closely correlated with the fluctuations of the real estate market. As real estate values in British Columbia have climbed steadily in recent years, the property transfer tax has become a larger contributor to government revenues. * Assistant Professor, MAEER’s, MIT College of Engineering’s- CMSR, Kothrud, Pune, Maharashtra, India
