  • what's the justification. Should renters be able to deduct rent from their income tax bill? Car loan payments?

    It encourages and accelerates homeownership so that people don’t need to rent. Take the Netherlands as an example, 65% homeownership rates and 30% social housing stock which is subsidised. Cars are pretty much taxed to death which they should be as they’re an unnecessary luxury.

  • Unnecessary luxury. Absolute nonsense.

    It depends doesnt it? My car is an unnecesary luxury. Good public transport in the area, trains serve the longer distance places I visit. I'm not mobility impaired. Half the time a bike ride is faster to get to where I need to be if its within London.

    Edit: We do however have about 70 cars parked outside our 70 flat block.
