ExactlySell it into a market that's spiralling downwards as happened after the war when punitive deaths duties were applied.

Got a house that's been empty 2+ years now have to pay double Council tax .Makes no difference if it’s rented out it has to balance otherwise it won’t be rented out, not for long anyway
Thats quite rightGot a house that's been empty 2+ years now have to pay double Council tax .
its all just down to the planning system, do away with it and how much would a house be worth, the AG value of the land its stood on plus the build cost, planning permission is the biggest subsidy going, given to a few on a few bits of land to make them richReading the article, I don’t believe that they are after the productive farmers... I suspect they want to democratise the land to build residential houses and live on.
With the high concentration of the land ownership it is hard to find and buy a stand to build a family house. One has to find an old blower-upper, as opposed to fixer-upper, demolish it, and only then build a new house that you want.

Never works out like that, does it. It will be a blanket policy whereby the owner of 50 acres pays the same as the owner of 50,000 acres. Look at how the CAP gets administered.The first 200 ac of farmland should be tax free
After that its an exponential increase, so making the 50,000 ac estate unviable
The CAP is only administered that way in the uk due to tories, Nfu and cla.Never works out like that, does it. It will be a blanket policy whereby the owner of 50 acres pays the same as the owner of 50,000 acres. Look at how the CAP gets administered.
It's hard to move land 'off shore' so easy to tax unlike Google etc
But turnover doesn't necessarily make much moneyEasy. Tax against turnover of business done in the UK.
That’s always the thought but looking back farming has always done well under Labour administrations down the years.
and whats labours stance on farm subs?Will depend on the level of land tax, do you not think.
The presumption on this forum seems to be that a Labour Part land tax will be totally exorbitant. And there would be opportunity for a well structured tax to have appropriate reliefs. All that Labour is suggesting is to generate revenue taxation from a capital item. This would affect the capital value as the amount of tax would be capitalised into a reduction in the value of the asset. In a period of low interest rates since 2008 'wealthy' people have moved cash into assets. And somehow government of whichever political colour has to extract cash tax revenue from these people - difficult as they tend to have good accountants.
If the land tax were say £5hectare would that cause UK farming to cease? The Tory government is proposing a far harsher reduction in revenue with change to subsidy in the Agriculture Bill.
Yes we rent some out and fall into that trap tooGot a house that's been empty 2+ years now have to pay double Council tax .
The answer is the tenant will still pay the tax through the rent. All depends if the rent was originally enough to incorporate the cost of the taxSo answer the question, what will the owner do with it?
And leaving it empty to get a rate rebate needs to be outlawed
I'm guessing you have about 350 acres ?I'm guessing you have about 200ac?
I think the limit should be just over 350ac...
30 euros Hc around here, LFA, depends on your ground though
