The Taxing Question of Land

Land Value Taxation gets a plain-spoken case made for it here, built around a simple provocation: the UK borrows a third of its annual budget and raises the rest through taxes that fall on wages, sales, and profits rather than on the value locked up in land itself. The film opens with the G8 summit naming tax compliance a top global concern, then turns to economists, academics, and campaigners who argue that taxing land value instead would cut down on the avoidance and evasion that complex tax codes invite. Narrator Graeme Stirling walks through how LVT would work, why it might curb the concentration of land ownership, and what critics say against it, giving objections real space rather than waving them off. Funded through crowdsourcing, the production is short on visual variety and long on argument, structured as a case for policy change rather than a survey of the issue. It closes on the same question it opens with: whether this is the moment for land taxation's return.
