English translation:Lore and Property Tax
Explanation:
The lore tax is founded on the same basis as the property tax, which is valuation and estimated
rent value. Municipalities have the authority to collect lore tax directly. When surveying
municipalities we found that the percentage of collection from the lore tax ranges from 17%-
80%, again indicating to the discrepancies between municipalities in the collection and
administration of lore taxes. For example if we look at the collection of the lore tax by the
Nablus Municipality in 2008, we find that it was only 17.8% even though the number of
employees working in the finance department was 183. This begs the question of why the
collection rate is so low.
