Cracked it!! Buy the biggest ****ing Winnebago ever. Just cruise around
man. No tax to pay ever.

But you pay parking costs, etc, et


No no. I park in a field and start an illegal travellers site. No taxes
charges or anything to pay at all. Then the local council comes along and
puts in hard standing, a shower block laundry facilities etc. No worries.


That is the case right now! Duh!

In a traveller site the land owner will pay the LVT. This of course will be
partially recouped in charging for the caravan berths. LVT would eliminate
illegal traveller sites.

Rubbish the value of the land would go down.
Whatever land they setup on someone will be paying
LVT, as "all" land has LVT due. If the authorities do not remove the
caravans the owner could refuse to pay the LVT until they are removed.
Currently travellers setting up on any uncultivated - the land is not LVT'd
and no tax whatsoever is paid for by the landowner. Currently the landowner
does not lose.

If travellers decide they want to settle on a legitimate field, then LVT is
due on the field. Then travellers for the first time ever will be paying
into HMG.

Hang on, you said the tax couldn't be passed on by the
landlord/landowner to the tenant. So the travellers will still pay SFA,
unless of course the land owner builds it into the pitch rental but
again you said that couldn't happen with property rentals so how come it
suddenly can apply to travellers?
