The tax imposed upon the possession or other beneficial use of tax-exempt property for industrial, trade, or other business purposes is on the separate private interest in the tax-exempt property. The amount of payments that are made in lieu of taxes must be credited against the amount of tax that is imposed upon the beneficial use of property owned by the federal government.
