# House Rent Tax
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
A tax imposed on the rent of houses, which falls partly upon the inhabitants
|
||||
who pay it and partly upon the owners of the ground, with the final burden
|
||||
distributed between them based on the relative value of building rent versus
|
||||
ground rent.
|
||||
|
||||
## Source Chapter
|

Book V, Chapter 2

|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith distinguishes between building rent (the profit on capital expended in
|
||||
building) and ground rent (the price for the use of land), explaining how a
|
||||
tax on house rent affects each component differently and ultimately falls
|
||||
more heavily on the rich.
