Abstract: In the article we discuss the problem of the equity of the area-based property tax in Poland. The fairness of property taxation has been a subject of economic debate in most developed countries – the United States and the United Kingdom being the most evident examples. The discussion has focused on valuebased property tax systems – mainly because this type of property taxation prevails in mature economies. In the paper we discuss previous research. In the last part of the paper we analyse the problem from the theoretical perspective based on PaglinFogarty. We argue that the area-based property tax system in Poland is not equitable. Based on current practice we conclude that it is mostly regressive.
