不少家長會為子女遷戶口以入籍明星學區，要小心地價稅可能因此增加。（資料照）
不少父母為讓小孩就讀明星學區，會將戶籍遷入學區內，但要注意一旦將戶籍遷出，即便全家人都還住在原本住址，地價稅就無法享有自用住宅優惠稅率了。
新竹縣政府稅務局表示，自用住宅用地地價稅一旦核准後，不論何種原因遷出戶籍，至少要保留土地所有權人或其配偶、直系親屬其中1人戶籍在原地，將全戶戶籍遷出即不符合自用住宅用地要件，且若未依土地稅法第41條規定主動向稽徵機關申報改按一般用地稅率課徵地價稅，將來查獲還是會被追補稅金，短匿稅額達35,000元以上者還會被加處罰鍰。

舉例來說，假設陳先生持有的土地原按自用住宅用地2‰稅率計課的地價稅為3千元，因女兒就讀學區需要，於2024年5月將全戶戶籍遷出，依規定陳先生應主動向稽徵機關申報改按一般用地稅率10‰課徵地價稅，當年度2024年仍可以自用住宅用地稅率課徵，並自2025年起地價稅應適用一般用地稅率，稅額將變更為1萬5千元。
如陳先生未主動申報，經稽徵機關於2026年開徵前查獲，則須追補2025年地價稅差額1萬2千元。
該局貼心提醒，經核准適用特別稅率課徵地價稅之土地，如適用之原因、事實消滅，致不符合要件時，應於30日內向主管稽徵機關申報，以免遭查獲時被補稅及處罰。
