So how much tax would you pay if you owned no land?


We have 70% of land in agriculuture. Much is paid by taxpers money to

Not currently. There are schemes to benefit wildlife which reward
managing land at low output levels. (agricultural set-aside was reduced
to zero some years ago)

As it is LAND Valuation Tax, the tax falls on the landowner only. If
you own no land you pay no tax. But you pay rent to a landowner.


So what about all those who own the freehold of their houses?
