No, the article clearly states it is 60% of rent:
"Starting in 2015 the city elected to tax vacant homes the equivalent of 20% of the fair market value of rent. On January 30 this year, they decided to triple that amount to 60%. "
- Timshel 10y agoThe article is crap, the change is to the property tax (taxe d'habitation http://www.lemonde.fr/argent/article/2017/01/25/a-paris-la-surtaxe-sur-les-residences-secondaires-va-passer-de-20-a-60_5068843_1657007.html http://www.lemonde.fr/argent/article/2017/01/25/a-paris-la-s...). The property tax is really low in Paris, for a 200ke flat you'll pay less than 200e a year, so while it will bring more tax it will change nothing to the problem.
