- rr808 4y agoYou're assuming people with golden visas actually live in the country. From what I've seen I dont think its common.
- bobthepanda 4y agoAlso, even if they visit sometimes, that is going to be less money spent in a year than a full-time resident that they outcompeted for resources.
- petre 4y agoThat exactly what the incompetent local government assumed as well. But those golden visa people don't live there, they just park money, maybe open an airbnb and operate it remotely, skirting taxes. So yes, taxing the sh*t out of airbnbs and empty property is one solution.
- ergocoder 4y ago"skirt tax" is an odd statement. It is more like Portugal doesn't collect tax. > taxing the sh*t out of airbnbs and empty property is one solution. Let's not downplay it. It is a much more superior solution.
