Default If Scotland gets independence

Doctor Drivel twisted the electrons to say:
Such confusion and misinformation. Land Valuation Tax is on the value of
the land only and payable only by the landlord. It cannot be passed onto
the tenant in the rent, as the landlord charges the highest the market
will bare right now. LVT gets land prices down and prevents land
speculation and hoarding.


Of course LVT would get passed onto the tenant, landlords not being
generally known for their massive charitable impulses! And the tenants
would be able to pay more in any case, as instead of paying $X pounds in
rent and $Y pounds in council tax they'd be paying $Z pounds in rent
(where $Z $X).
