GWD-29-Q17


The total market value of real estate in Altonville has steadily declined over the past four years.This decline has meant that the overall figure on which the city’s property tax is based—the assessed value of that real estate—has also declined.The percentage of assessed value that was paid as property taxes to the city, however, did not change from year to year during this period.


The information above most strongly supports which of the following?



A          The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes did not change over the past four years.


B          The percentage of Altonville’s yearly revenue that comes from money collected in property taxes has declined steadily over the past four years.


C          The amount of revenue that Altonville collected from property taxes was lower last year than it was four years ago.


D          During the past four years, Altonville officials increased tax rates on other sources of revenue such as retail sales and business profits.


E          Altonville will soon require property owners to pay a higher percentage of the assessed value of their property as property tax.


为什么选C 呢。。。谁给我讲讲吧~~~谢谢啦

地产价格连续四年下降; assessed value 降了as well; 房产税率在此期间不变。 可推导出：去年房产税的总收入比四年前低

房产税 = assessed value * 房产税率

你4年前买了一套100W的房子，政府每年要从你这收1%房产税，即1W

今年你的房子贬值到80W了，而房产税的税率还是和4年前一样是1%，政府只能从你这收8K了

所以，政府通过房产税获得的财政收入变少了。
