Mansion Tax 19:40 - Mar 28 with 9904 viewsunion_jack

Not sure how much sympathy i will get here, but Labour's proposal of a mansion tax is a cheap shot IMO.

Have they not heard of 'asset rich, cash poor?'

Listen, Skip, I'm not really allowed to talk to you but seeing as you've instigated it, I live on earth, you live on Planet Skippy. I'm comfortable with the experiences I've had and the knowledge I've gleaned. I'm even more comfortable that you think you know more than me. That's fine if it gives you comfort.

Someone said to stop talking to me?.. Why?.. Skippyland? Is it a civil servant thing to patronise everyone?.. How is it suicide ECB?.. I'm intrigued.. I'm sure a lot of rich benefactors would love a home in the Capital.. Who can afford that extra %..

Exactly right.

By the way - it is interesting that Clegg (who first proposed this) lives in a house that has been valued at £1.9m. Strange that.

Cameron's house is also valued at about £1.9m (according to the papers). So it's really catching the buggers that should be caught isn't it.

The fairer solution would be to tax all the no doms in London that buy up property causing prices to rise beyond all reason. Tax them to the hilt. A straight 40% or 45% or whatever on ALL income. But no, it's easier to catch out people that, however stupid to the rest of the country it may seem, may live in expensive houses, but are not wealthy people.

And yet, in most of the country, you can genuinely live in a mansion that may be valued at say £1m. In London, I live in a terraced house and it's worth twice that. It's not a big house, it's just because of where it is. And, incidentally, the property around here is worth a bomb largely because of the influx of the French (for the proximity to the Lycee) who are buying houses for cash like there's no tomorrow, to avoid the 75% tax rates in France. Fanf**ingtastic.


Ooooh somebody lives in Earls Court, fancy! ;)

Oh the old proposed mansion tax, if somebody lives in a £2 million plus property lets say in London and does not want other parts of the UK [typically rural parts] to have more funding per head lets say Scotland or Wales, so that as a consequence of having the same funding the people in those rural parts of Scotland and Wales will have poor infrastructure and poor public services due to the greater expense of providing services to a sparse population with greater travelling distances involved.
Then you will find not just the young tending to move looking for work but other people moving to the smoke as well to be closer to facilities causing property prices to rise in those urban areas and the decimation of rural communities.

But then when those very people that would not agree to rural areas getting more per head spent on them, when they then retire and are no longer cash rich but have a rich asset in the form of their house/flat they might have to sell up as they cant afford the tax and move to a rural area that might be very nice, clean air, peaceful, less crime etc etc but not have the services available that perhaps people living in the smoke have.

Poetic justice or what ?

My saving grace is that I literally live on the wrong side of the tracks!! Anyone that knows this part of London will know that there is a railway line running parallel to Holland Road (the line the 'Nuclear Train' runs on) - one side is the Royal Borough, the other side is where I live ... So it's Hammersmith rather than Kensington !!
