United Kingdom
General community for news/discussion in the UK.
Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.
Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

You really have reading comprehension issues don't you ?
The post notes that it's impossible to hide or move real estate overseas thus making it impossible to avoid.
Even if someone tried to avoid the tax by destroying the building you still can't avoid it because the land is the value not the building.
Ergo you pay the property wealth tax or the government reposses the property.
Unlike cash that can be hidden the asset is visible and hence tax is easily enforced
So to answer your question, the only one who would seek to destroy the building is someone trying to avoid a wealth tax (someone who thinks "I'd rather destroy my asset than pay tax" ie a nutter) in which case the government just seizes the land and the nutter tax avoider gets a banner over his head of "fucking idiot and welcome to jail here's your blanket dont drop the soap"
Did you even read the thread? I'll repeat the question - you take the mansion, now what? How do you convert a mansion into school uniforms? Oh wait, you don't! That changes nothing!
