Currently, the UK does not tax residential property on an annual basis. The "Mansion Tax" is a proposed annual property tax on homes valued at or over £2 million that would increase tax revenue to allow for a decrease in tax rate for low earners. Proposals estimate that properties valued between £2m and £3m would pay £3,000 per annum, but properties over £3m would pay considerably more. Commentators have suggested that in order to raise the projected £1.2bn, the Mansion Tax payable on homes over £3m would have to be £28,000.

@4WS739J4yrs4Y
Yes, but base worth on area prices instead of one blanket figure
@9FC5JFF1yr1Y
Yes, but only on properties valued at over £5m.
@4XM8PZB4yrs4Y
Yes, especially since the government has issued the bedroom tax, targeting many lower income families. Having seen local residents forced to move out of their homes because they cannot afford the bedroom tax, they should also bring in the mansion tax. The wealthy have not seen any tax increases under this government, theirs have been cut, yet the lower class families have been far worse off especially due to services cut by the same government that's cutting taxes for the higher class.
@4WQVDS24yrs4Y
No, only those worth more than £10m
@4WM99SB4yrs4Y
everyone should pay the same
@B2GVCGK6 days6D
Yes, but this is because people wouldn't want to buy overly large homes, meaning that they could get replaced with lots of smaller houses
@9ZZ9XF22mos2MO
Yes, if owner has multiple residential property, if residential property is in foreign territory (outside UK boundaries), or used for malicious intent.
@9QQMJNR7mos7MO
again, depends on what they’re going to spend their money on; yes, if it’s being spent on things which benefit society and the environment
