Agricultural taxation

Agricultural taxation refers to the taxes imposed on farmers and landowners for their farming activities, land, or produce. These taxes can include property taxes on farmland, income taxes on profits from sales, or special levies for resource use like water or grazing rights. They help fund public services and infrastructure needed for communities and agriculture. The tax system aims to balance supporting farmers’ livelihoods with ensuring fair contribution to government revenue. Effective agricultural taxation considers the unique aspects of farming, such as variable income and land value, to promote sustainable and productive agriculture.
