Kinda sucks but at least it forces people to not be landlords for profit and only use tenancy to cover taxes on properties they own.
Care to explain?
Sure. I don't know how it works in every country but in the UK you have to pay council tax on a property you own, even if you don't live in it, unless you meet certain exemption criteria that vary by council.
Even if you don't make a profit on renting a property you don't live in, having someone else live in it and pay the council tax will mean you don't lose any money.
How does that prevent landlording for profit? It seems like it would just prevent holding property without using it?
But yes, we pay land tax on all land in the US, based on property value and structures. Regardless if it's rented.
€1000 per year is practically nothing. You'd need 25 properties to make a modest living from being a landlord.
But it would mean that you could sit on the property and re-sell it later if you were just buying it as an investment so renting it out wouldn't be your living, it would probably be something like a retirement plan.
So if renting isn't your living, hopefully you'd be less likely to be a dick.
That's how it works in almost every country in the world.
You pay tax on profits, so revenue less expenses, just like any business or investment. I'm honestly not sure what your point is here.
Maybe I’m getting old or lack context, but I don’t understand the connection of the “none of my business” meme and the text above
Man I swear only meme type these corporations know are the "when x: reaction" memes
