tance, buildings on the said sites, and further, premises and buildings on
agricultural property which are not intended for agricultural purposes, large
fisheries, and fee-farm rents. Thus all the real property of the realm, except
channels of communication (canals and railways) with the buildings appertaining to
them, is entered in the assessment rolls at its estimated value. On the other
hand, no calculation is made as to the yield of real property in monetary value.
But this is done in the case of capital and work, the income for every
taxpayer being assessed by the same authorities as those just mentioned; this
assessment takes place annually.
In consequence of the different methods of procedure referred to above, it is
not possible to determine the total annual income of the Swedish nation, but
one must content oneself with two incommensurable sets of figures; on the one
hand, the value of real property, on the other the income derived from work
and public service. It is true that since 1911 (Law of the 28th Oct. 1910)
owners of real property, both landed and other, are taxed for income derived
from such property. However, the incomes thus declared do not yet by any
means correspond to the real incomes; we must therefore content ourselves with
the data of past years on the one hand as to the value of real property, and
on the other as to income from capital and work.
The results in both cases are given in summarised form in Tables 3 and
5. In Table 4 an attempt has also been made to amalgamate the assessed
income and 5 % of the assessed value of real property — of course without any
claim in the latter case to give the real net profit, but merely an approximate
idea of the total sum. However, for various reasons, it is probable that the
latter by no means corresponds to the real annual income of the Swedish
people.
The value of all real property in Sweden has thus from 1862 to 1913
increased from 2 314 to 9 577 million kronor, that is, has been more than
quadrupled. Agriculture, however, shows a comparatively small advance,
from 1 844 to 3 740 millions, an advance which may even, to some
extent, be due to a more accurate valuation (from 1879 onwards). Other
1 The income from real property is here assumed to be 5 % of the assessed value. See
