Does your own building affect your LVT?
Okay, so I can safely say that I know most of the basics of georgism but I still have a simple tiny question
Can your own improvements increase taxes on you even if only land was taxed?
Ima give y'all an example:
Imagine you have building for which you pay 100 dollars of LVT, then you decide to improve it by adding a café shop on the bottom floor, increasing the land's value. Would georgism calculate the LVT without taking in count your own building's existence (thus remaining on just 100$ LVT) or would it also count your building's share of land value to say it somehow (thus paying for example 150$ after you open the café, because you made the land more valuable)
I hope I explained myself, sorry if there's any confusion, and thank you for your answers!
