The study also carried out for the first time in the GMA a comprehensive housing market assessment in order to collect primary data on real estate market value, which was used as basis for estimating the net present value of different policy options to increase property tax. It suggested that municipal revenue for property taxation could significantly increase if municipalities would improve tax compliance, increase tax rate from actual 0.4 to 1.0 percentage, and use market value to assess property tax.

The overall objective of the Maputo
Urban Poverty and Inclusive Growth Study is to inform the
municipal governments of Maputo and Matola in the Greater
Maputo Area (GMA) on how to better target and finance urban
poverty reduction programs by building critical knowledge on
urban poverty and land-based municipal revenue enhancement.
The study carried out an in-depth poverty and vulnerability
mapping and analysis in order to better understand the
spatial distribution of poverty in the GMA. It showed that
poverty has significantly reduced in most of the
neighborhoods in GMA from 1997 to 2007. The study also
showed a strong correlation between poverty reduction and
access to basic services and urban infrastructure, though it
was not possible to identify a correlation between poverty
incidence of natural hazards based on availability data. The
study also carried out for the first time in the GMA a
comprehensive housing market assessment in order to collect
primary data on real estate market value, which was used as
basis for estimating the net present value of different
policy options to increase property tax. It suggested that
municipal revenue for property taxation could significantly
increase if municipalities would improve tax compliance,
increase tax rate from actual 0.4 to 1.0 percentage, and use
market value to assess property tax. In this case, Maputo
City Council would generate Mt 44 billion and Matola Mt 29
billion in NPV terms. Finally, study provided specific
policy and institutional development recommendations at
national and municipal levels with the ultimate objective to
increased urban infrastructure finance, and better target
pro-poor interventions not only in GMA, but also benefiting
other cities in Mozambique. |
