# Interest of Money Tax
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition
|
||||
|
||||
A tax imposed on the revenue derived from lending money at interest, which
|
||||
cannot raise the rate of interest itself but must be borne by the lender
|
||||
through reduced returns or passed on to borrowers through higher borrowing costs.

||||

|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
Smith argues that the interest of money is a less proper subject for direct
|
||||
taxation than land rent because the amount of capital is difficult to
|
||||
ascertain and can be easily moved between countries, making such taxation
|
||||
inefficient and potentially harmful.
