Mobile homes - are they subject to the new €200 tax on 2nd homes?

Thanks vinnie,

The owners of caravan parks also have to abide by planning regulations, water quality regs where there is a private water supply, effluent regulations where there is private sewage treatment. Also many owners have been forced to reduce their stocking ratio on foot of LA regs resulting in some long standing licencees being kicked off the site.

Yes, I heard that rumour today that minister Gormley was about to do a u turn.

One wonders if this was a "smoke and daggers" operation to deflect discussion from some other aspect of the bill?

Somebody should remind the "lucky" counsellor that mobile home site owners pay rates and as such do make a contribution to the local authorities.

Site charges are not up to €1,500 they are €2,000 and more.

New mobile homes cost between €30,000 and €40,000 but have no value after about 10 years. VAT is charged on the purchase of new mobiles.

Incidentaly demountable dwellings are specifically precluded from many grants such as energy and water grants. If they were taxable as a building/property would the owners be entitled to sei and water grants etc?
