As a landlord, I already charge as much as I can obtain for my property.

And if the disposable income of every tennant went up as they no longer had to pay council tax, this would no way
imply that they could afford to pay a larger amount in rent?

It may do.

So if it wasnt for the fact that with JUST an LVT, the LVT would have
to be immense to collect the same tax revenue currently being collected,
the landlord could of course pass on the LVT to the renter because all
landlords would do that so the renters get to like that or lump it.

Plus as has been pointed out, the increased cost would affect every
landlord so they would all have the same incentive to increase prices. So where would the competitive pressure to
*not* pass it on come from?

But the landlord would have no other tax to pay, so no Income Tax, Council tax, VAT, etc, so no change.

A massive change in fact because of the immense LVT the
landlord would have to pay because there is no income tax
for individuals or commercial operations etc etc etc.

The landlord will pass on some LVT for sure,

You previously pig ignorantly claimed that they couldnt pass any of it on.

You cant even manage a consistent line of drivel.

but not much,

In fact a hell of a lot because with JUST an LVT the LVT
would be immense, MUCH more than the renter would be
paying in rent, so the landlord would go bust in no time at all.

but to say all will go on the tenant is not the case

There is no alternative given that the LVT would have to be immense
given that its the only tax that has to raise all the current tax revenue.

as all the economic profs say.

Another bare faced flagrantly dishonest lie.
