The royals are in control of a lot of land.

Will have to remember that the next time someone posts about how we're a small island, very dense population and totally full.

How much impact do one thousand immigrant families have compared to this family?

I wonder how much inheritance tax they will pay on the queen's properties

Zero inheritance tax applies when property passes from sovereign to sovereign.

To be fair though, the Royals are probably struggling to pay all their energy bills, just like the rest of us.

Luckily they take our taxes to cover the costs. I’d be devastated to hear they couldn’t heat their 12 mansions and 7 castles.

Probably all need renovating..at a cost of 20 billion

Be interesting to see what Harry and Megs get?
Also if and how they are taxed on it.

Why would they be taxed on it?

I imagine if there's intelligent life on another planet and they could look down on all this they'd question our ability to think rationally. I can hear them saying to us "shake yourselves and rid yourself of this pestilence"

This is an eye opener on all of the wealth, privileges and power the royal family still has https://www.amazon.co.uk/What-Do-You...dp/B07RN38QC5/

Why would they be taxed on it?

Because if they're no longer members of the Royal family, and are just regular citizens like the rest of us, then the same rules should apply to them as us.

the same rules should apply to all of them

[The Bloop]

the same rules should apply to all of them

If they did, then Andrew wouldn't have been able to receive a £12m gift off his mother without it being subject to tax either.

John Lennon was right about the working class

Keep you doped with religion and sex and TV
And you think you're so clever and classless and free
But you're still ****ing peasants as far as I can see

Charles donated some of the revenue of the estate to the taxman voluntarily. I would imagine this will continue under William.

Is voluntarily donating tax the same as what we all have to do?

In fairness, that poor family had to open up their house to the public in order to pay a percentage towards the damage caused by the fire at Windsor Castle. Poor queenie hiding in the downstairs toilet until the rabble funked off home with their Autographwd corgi pics. I bet none of you lot would be prepared to do that.

Make me exempt from income tax and I'll happily donate 5% of my salary to the taxman.

Run a chippy and take cash only and you probably could. Cash is King remember.
Sorry, my bad, I mean Chas is King 🤴

Remember that as part of the deal you'd be required to sit on your arse for most of the year apart from when you have to attend some event at which you'll be surrounded by gushing cretins.
