PS We already have the highest property taxes in the world ... (From the Guardian no less!) "British people pay the highest levels of property taxes in the developed world and more than twice the average for the 34 rich countries in the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), according to a thinktank report... ... The report calculated that property taxes including council tax, stamp duty, inheritance tax and capital gains tax amount to 4.1% of GDP in the UK – the highest in the OECD and well above the average 1.8%." http://www.theguardian.com/business/2013/nov/07/uk-property-taxes-highest-developed-world-policy-exchange |
