   Comments: Strongly believe that this will ruin the island in general, this would set a benchmark for future proposals. By removing tax benefits, are you removing tax personnel?

    Comments: If the States think this will have a positive effect on slowing the rise of house prices, that might work to a degree, but also likely to completely backfire on them - it will also decimate the first time buyer market that's already struggling with meeting tougher deposit/lending criteria than we have been used to, putting an upward pressure on rental prices, probably taking them above the mortage levels currently for an equivalent property. All the people in rentals currently that are gloating as they think it doesn't affect them, or house buyers have had it too good for too long, well you wont be doing so for long, when the prices of rentals start rising it wont be selective against those who would have otherwise chosen a mortgage, it will effect EVERYONE renting. Can't believe that's going to stimulate the Guernsey economy very much is it. This could be the start of a monumental mistake of short-sightedness on the part of the States. I do hope they re-think before it's too late. I think the public could palate this a little better if it was structured with a little more thought about who it would affect worst instead of taking a big hatchet to the whole scheme. Perhaps a partial reduction whereby first time buyers retain all/most of the current benefit, for a reasonable period of time, say 10 years, and the cut in relief is geared toward persons (such as myself I would add) who have had the benefit already for some longer period of time and can hopefully be in a better position to stand this substantial extra cost. A little more thought required please!

    Comments: While on paper this appears to be financially beneficial for the States in my opinion this will in fact increase the exodus of locals due to being priced out of the housing market. I would expect rental prices to increase due to a) greater demand & b) increased costs of property owners to be met which could again price people in the lower wage spectrumout of the market. Please rethink before some serious damage is caused.

    Comments: We should be encouraging locals to buy their own homes. Removing the relief would inflate rental prices and more people will require Social Housing or help with rent allowance via supplementary benefit. It will not help to decrease house prices as wealthy investors will buy them to meet the increase of rental demand.

    Comments: Crazy idea and bad policy- last thing Gsy economy needs now is a hit to the housing market. Much better ways of raising revenue exist, e.g. the "20 means 20" policy in Jsy which phases out income tax allowances for high earners. Rethink on mortgages!! This just hits people on low and middle incomes.
