Land-tax
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 & Mary, c. 3) superseded all the former methods of taxing either property or persons in respect of their property, whether by tenth or fifteenths, subsidies on land, hydages, scutages,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,...

Gift-tax
Gift-tax, gift tax is to place the tax on the gift of property which may include land and buildings. It is not a tax imposed directly upon lands and buildings but is a tax upon the value of the total gifts made in a year which is above the exempted limit. There is no tax upon lands or buildings as units of taxation. Indeed the lands and buildings are valued to find out the total amount of the gift and what is taxed is the gift. The value of the lands and buildings is only the measure of the value of the gift. A gift-tax is thus not a tax on lands and buildings as such which is a tax resting upon general ownership of lands and buildings but is a levy upon a particular use, which is transmission of title by gift, Second Gift Tax Officer v. D.H. Hazareth, (1970) 1 SCC 749: AIR 1970 SC 999 (1002). (Gift Tax Act, 1958)...
