Tax on jewellery

[enaid]

Now they want to tax jewellery: New Lib Dem wealth plan to target ALL assets - including buy-to-let homes

• Families will be forced to pay tax on heirlooms under Lib Dem scheme
  
• Tax inspectors would have powers to enter homes and value items
• Nick Clegg's party looking at plans to extend proposed mansion tax
• Plans condemned by Conservatives

Families will be forced to pay tax on jewellery and other heirlooms under controversial new plans drawn up by the Liberal Democrats.Under the scheme, tax inspectors would get unprecedented new powers to go into homes and value rings, necklaces, paintings, furniture and other family treasures.
Householders would be forced to pay a new ‘wealth’ levy on the assets – with the threat of fines for those who refused to let snoops value their possessions.
A policy document seen by The Mail on Sunday spells out how the taxman ‘may have to visit homes to test values of jewellery, paintings, etc’.

And so the end of private property creeps a little bit closer.

People think that the Liberals are silly, or simply eccentric. They aren't. They are actually the extreme Left of the Labour Party.

One can only conclude that this tale was reported 42 days too early.

One of the daftest ideas being that the LibDems will be returned in sufficient numbers to form a coalition with anyone, let alone have their own working majority.

Consequently, they are free once more to play their usual game of Fantasy League politics, safe in the knowledge that they will not be able to implement anything in their manifesto.

They are ahead of you on this one. Think 'environmental tax to pay for pollution cleanup'.

Re: Tax on jewellery

One wonders how a tax inspector might value the intimate jewellery with which some lasses have taken to adorning their girly bits.

:rofl:
