Simple suggestion/answer, many if us have suggested it already and it doesnt take a brain surgeon to work it out (so the majority of states members should be ok with it) Now we ALL know that the State(s) of Guernsey welcome the silly-rich over here with open arms to set up a ltd company or similar just so they pay very minimal or no tax at all. Now we all know that Guernsey isnt the real world (where it costs 1/2 a million quid to get a 2 bedroom semi with a postage stamp sized garden and a parking space if youre lucky!) Now excuse me for thinking out of the box but so so so many of us have suggested it already! How about if you earn X amount, have X amounts worth of properties and earn X amount then you pay more tax than those that dont? Basically a sliding scale tax, the more you earn/have already - the more you pay. Simple logics!!!!! Yes I know that the squillionaires wont like it but theyd still be paying less than they would back where they came from. Its the silly rich that are making this island so expensive! The State(s) are directing this island to be a retirement island for the silly rich! Us poorer locals are the ones that are suffering and finding it hard to get their foot on the property ladder (or will find it hard to keep up the payments) - the rungs are just a bit too big! Who will the silly rich have to work for them once us poorer lot realise that we cant afford to live here anymore and leave?
