  Every strret must have a name and every house a number. It is good for utilities to collect their bills, reduce illegal connections, and help the police fight crime

  Increase property tax by 30% on all rented properties instead. It is easier to collect than rent tax.

  The Rent Laws don't work at all because people live in rooms for years without knowing any law until there is a dispute.In Europe,you rent a house or an appartment according to your salary or source of revenue.There is a proper education on insurance and taxes.The Land Lord pays and the occupant also pays tax to the State and the community he lives in.The Rent officer should emphasis on educating the public first instead of looking out for more tax.Thank you.

  This is waste of resources trying to collect this tax in a system lacking detailed rentals data. Better concentrate on income tax so people pay more tax on ANY income. At the moment we pay 8% rent tax, plus tax on income. Is the income from rent included in income tax? It all does not work out. Just another avenue for bribery and corruption.

  In a country where suppliers calculate the tax eement and add it to the cost of item before selling to customers so that they will not lose by paying the tax, don't you think landlords and landladies will calculate this tax and add it to the rent, thereby asking tenants to pay more for rent?
