    Let's Hope Our Pools Are Safe

    Undeclared pools in France uncovered by AI technology
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62717599
    Millions in tax revenue has been collected after more than 20,000 undeclared pools were found.


    The discovery of thousands of undeclared private swimming pools in France has provided an unexpected windfall for French tax authorities.

    Following an experiment using artificial intelligence (AI), more than 20,000 hidden pools were discovered.

    They have amassed some €10m (£8.5m) in revenue, French media is reporting.

    Pools can lead to higher property taxes because they boost property value, and must be declared under French law.

        I’ve just offered the whole contents of mine, to offset the hosepipe ban in my area. (Tax loophole)

          They’ve found 20 thousand pools and only made 10mil from it?

          Hardly sounds worth it with all the work that (I assume) goes into busting someone with an unregistered pool.

            Drakeford is considering a similar scheme with houses with paddling pools over 4ft x 4ft , he just needs to find the Drone firepower to deploy it in Wales .

            If the pool has a slide attached the fine will be doubled.

            Stay safe , keep dry, is the message
            .

              One man's swimming pool is another man's bird bath.
