      Initial thoughts are that I would be against it. Sure I’d be open to changing my mind if more data comes out. But I would imagine the vast majority of non eu residents purchasing homes here are on critical skills visas. Probably not a good idea to bring people over on a critical skills visa and then tax them 100% on their home.

      if the buyer is buying as an investment and not as a home, then I can see the point, but otherwise no.

      People who can afford to buy homes are probably professionals we want to stay.

      But I can see why this might make sense for Spain, with expats and retirees that never paid income tax there.

    4. the article queotes spanish PM “Non-EU residents bought 27,000 properties in Spain in 2023, “not to live in” but “to make money from them”. 27,000 non primary residences while locals cant get a home.

      Absolutely makes sense. I dont know what the numbers are here but if we could make tens of thousands of properties on the market that would go some way to meeting the shortfall of home produced vs homes needed.

      I live in Singapore. If I want to buy a property there’s 60% tax, citizens 5% tax (30% for a 2nd property). House prices are still sky high but at least it dampens down wealthy people from Asia using Singapore property to park their money as an investment. Seems like an obvious move for Ireland….

      Is it possible say for retirees to simply rent an apartment for 3 months rather than buy?
