Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion with Civic Society Representatives and Focus Groups

Mr. Paul Sweeney:
I would have a threshold below which people do not pay. People on low incomes also would receive exemptions or one could have top-slicing relief. Thereafter, it would be progressive, based on the property valuation. For example, one Irish person, who has a house with ten security guards that is as big as the Vatican and who does not live here would pay a huge property tax.
