A core challenge facing the country is housing, says Paschal Donohoe. He says he will be introducing a zoned land tax, to encourage the use of land for building homes. The main objective is to increase the supply of homes, he says. | Live updates: https://t.co/SrriEhC1OL pic.twitter.com/wsrl4bmQTC

At top: Watching the Budget 2022 address in Buswell’s Hotel, Dublin 2
This afternoon.
Dail Eireann, Dublin 2
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe has completed his Budget 2022 address which included a ‘zoned land tax’, €25 million to establish a ‘basic income scheme for artists’ and 50 cents on a packet of fags.
Daylight robbery.

Gas how he announces it like the housing problem just magically occurced overnight
Hehehehehe
Whats worse – the tax doesnt come into effect for between 2 and 3 years depending on original zoning date.
And the rate (3%) is lower than the old vacant sites levy! And also lower than the rate of property price inflation!
Darned “neo-liberal” policies and their “€25 million to establish a ‘basic income scheme for artists’ ”
Shocking!
A nice little open-ended scheme to allow ministers to funnel money into pockets of their mates
Sure everyone’s an artist these days, no doubt [redacted] will qualify somehow too. The hoops he jumps through to remain a Maltese tax exile surely qualify as some kind of performance art?
