Petition Tax significant profits on house sales
More details
The proposal: tax profits of over £50k on house sales
The rationale: significant house profits can be accrued as a result of price bubbles, providing a significant source of untaxed, unearned income and help support very high house prices which can be inequitable.
Furthermore, a 20 per-cent tax on a 50k profit would raise 10k in tax, as much as someone on an average salary pays in tax in a year
