    Fixed that for ya :eek:

    All levels of govt are loving the house price rises. More Rates, more Stamp Duty & Land Tax, more CGT.

    Lets say the removed it all it would do is increase the prices of homes by that amount and the government would need to fill that hole by increasing taxes elsewhere.
