I don't see how you could justify it's the 'least evil tax'. In theory the least evil tax is something that doesn't change behaviour. We have a land value tax

We have a land value tax here in Australia which doesn't apply to owner-residents. That said, most places are excluded.

- perilunar 5y agoThe "least evil tax" probably comes from Milton Friedman, who called land tax the "least bad tax". Owner-occupiers do pay land tax in Australia — local council rates are effectively land taxes as they are based on the unimproved value of the land (but they often include stormwater and waste charges as well).
