Left Party: Investigate state property tax on expensive villas

The Left Party wants to review the possibility of introducing a state property tax on expensive housing, said economic policy spokesperson Ida Gabrielsson in an interview with Ekot on Saturday.

The Left Party is campaigning on a billionaires' tax, which it says may need to be supplemented by an exit tax. An exit tax would require billionaires to pay if they left Sweden. It also wants to investigate a state tax on expensive housing.

"I think we could consider whether it makes more sense for people with modest housing to pay less. And someone who has a villa valued at 13 million or so could perhaps pay a little more," Ida Gabrielsson told Ekot.
