@Terrympaul A house worth 600k would pay less than 3k per annum, so about the same amount as council tax is now for a household in Newham.
Note that owners would be responsible for paying the new tax under @FairerShare’s proposal.
@UKAstute@AkkadSecretary I don’t think that the owner should pay tax for services the renter is receiving. Why would you think that was my opinion from the question?
@Jonathan_Hinder@Terrympaul@FairerShare Did you just say the owners would be responsible for tax on services the renters are receiving? And you don’t think landlords would recoup these costs with interest? It’s going to hit London labour voters hard!
@Proper_Memes@BurnsideWasTosh Amazing to think that out of all the creative ideas they’ve had on how to tax us more, they haven’t thought to tax money leaving the country as remittances.
@A1an_M Yes, good point. I ordered a small bag from Stoates and sons to sample it. It works out about double the price of the Allinsons flour I usually buy, but at the rate I use it’s only about an extra 50 quid a year. Worth it.
