Land-tax, means a tax laid upon land and houses, which in 1689 (1 Will. & Mary, c. 3) superseded all the former methods of taxing either property or persons in respect of their property, whether by tenth or fifteenths, subsidies on land, hydages, scutages, or talliages. Although generally a charge upon a landlord, yet it is a tax neither on landlord nor tenant, but on the beneficial proprietor, as distinguished from the mere tenant at rack-rent; and if a tenant have to any extent a beneficial interest, he becomes liable to the tax pro tanto, and can only charge the residue on his landlord. Houses and buildings appropriated to public purposes are not liable to land-tax. As to its origin and inequality, see 3 Hall. Cons. Hist. 135; Miller on the Land-tax; Bourdin on Land-tax.The more agricultural counties, upon which the burden of the tax has fallen most heavily by reason of the depreciation in value of agricultural land, were greatly relieved by s. 31 of the (English) Finance Act, 1896,...

Settled land. For the purposes of the (English) Settled Land Acts, 1882-1890, 'settled land' meant land, and any estate and interest therein, which was the subject of a settlement; and 'settlement' meant any instrument, or any number of instruments, under which any land, or any estate or interest in land, 'stands for the time being limited to or in trust for any persons by way of succession' (Settled Land Act, 1882, s. 2) (see infra for the statutory definitions in the Settled Land Act, 1925, which has repealed the S.L. Acts, 1882-1890).

The Act of 1923 (as amended by the Agricultural Holdings Amendment Act, 1923) repeals and consolidates all the earlier statutes dealing with the subject, and confers on outgoing tenants of 'holdings' the rights and benefits briefly outlined below. The term 'holding' means any parcel of land held by a tenant which is wholly agricultural or wholly pastoral, or in whole or in part cultivated as a market garden, and which is not le...
