Definition:
(p. pr. & vb. n.) of Form
(n.) The act or process of giving form or shape to anything; as, in shipbuilding, the exact shaping of partially shaped timbers.

(8) Virtually every developed country has some form of property tax, so the idea that valuing residential property is uniquely difficult, or that it would be widely evaded, is nonsense.
