If you tax the land at a rate greater than a 100% LVT, the market price of the building will be less than the improvement value, and therefore there will not be a good reason for builders to build. This will create distortions that are harmful and you will ultimately see less tax money.

More than 100% over how long?

You calculate the rent at day $500 per month and tax at 550 per month.

Remember the valuation is based on the rental value of the land, not the capital purchase of the land.

Its basically rent so it doesnt matter if you calculate it by day or by year.
