Dear Eddie
Here is my response to your posting on the above.
EF1: Jerusalem is not a country.
RF1: Goa is not a country either.... as far as I am aware ....and this posting
is on Goa. Unless while I was mildly distracted
a magic wand was used to make it into one!
Apologies, cannot respond beyond point 1, I am now in a "State" of Goan
confusion.

Thanks Rose. Yes, I had seen that but it is a mild distraction:
1. Jerusalem is not a country.
2. The proposal has not been implemented as far I am aware.
3. Jerusalem's proposal was for unoccupied property with overseas owners. Goa's
proposal is for owners outside the
State even when the property is occupied.
4. The scale of the charges is probably less than the $4,000 to $10,000 p.a.
In any case are you suggesting that the Goa proposal is justifiable?
And do you have a magic wand to make it law?
Back to the drawing board!
Eddie

Dear Eddie
When I read point 2. in your posting "As far as I am aware, no state in India
or country in the world has such a law" I
googled non-occupancy tax and saw the following article by David Lev dated 11
October 2011: "Absentee owner tax could
slash Jerusalem rent prices". Not sure if it has been implemented now in
Jerusalem or thrown out.
