    "15 per cent tax on property purchases made by foreigners and a doubling of stamp duty that applies to everyone except permanent residents who are first-time buyers"

    Fair enough as a sort of tarrif to reduce the impact of foreigners on locals but why should it apply to anyone else that isn't first-time buyers - are we going to get more services for the money? ans no. Current taxes like this are a rip off and should have been removed years ago.
