An interesting point. In my work I met lots of different people in different circumstances; individuals finding themselves through no fault of their own, living in such houses having inherited them, but not themselves having the means to pay to keep them so they moved away, or they simply didn't want to move from the place of their family life through generations. Some of us may think a nice problem to have, but emotionally very difficult a situation to be in. I agree that income tax always seems to be a fairer way. My bugbear is and always be taxing private pensions, when one has already paid tax on the earnings that make them up! The entire amount makes up the tax and not just taxed on the interest made since.
What do we think?
There's a couple of not very big ordinary family homes for sale on my street that will fall foul of this.
Seems totally arbitrary to tax these people more than others imo. J hope the treasury will pay the cost of collection too, rather than burdening the council who won't benefit at all from this tax.
They should have just increased income tax.
