The article considers business property tax characteristics in the OECD and BRICS by means of the comprehensive tax law analysis with regard to these countries. The authors emphasise the experience of the countries, which treat (or treated earlier) elements of the personal property taxation. In these cases the authors consider tax design in detail and establish that only in Russia, Japan and the US personal property tax is widely treated. Furthermore, there is a global trend towards taxation of the only real property. Thus the planned business personal property tax abandonment in Russia is not just a tax exemption, it is a transition to the generally accepted and reasonable tax standard.
