A comment on Tax Evasion at the Top of the Income Distribution: Theory and Evidence. Parent comment
Well, you could just publish the list of taxes due and make it the landowner's responsibility to pay it, seizing the land if the taxes aren't paid.
I don't think the government would really have to care about who owns the land, as long as the taxes were paid, right?
Not advocating Georgism, necessarily. I just don't see this issue as being a real problem with the idea.
