FRANK McDONALD, Environment@IrishTimes.com
THE GOVERNMENT is being urged to adopt a new property tax based on site values, covering all commercial, industrial and domestic properties, as a means of raising revenue and stabilising the market.
This approach is being advocated by a number of bodies, including the Urban Forum, which involves architects, engineers, planners and quantity surveyors, and Feasta, the Foundation for the Economics of Sustainability. Link to article
