A mansion tax would give practically nothing to the treasury ,it will only be of use if the owner sells the property .The treasury would be far better off sorting out the tax once and for all to make sure everyone pays the right tax

It is also very unfair ,if someone has worked all their life to be able to afford a nice house then over a period of years the area changes and the house prices are inflated why should that person have to pay extra tax on the house should he want to sell it .

If the rich people can pay little or no tax because they are able to hire the best accountants then what makes people think those same accountants won't find a way around this brainless idea
