The Danish government has opened the door to letting a share of a summer-house owner's income-tax revenue flow to the municipality where the holiday home sits, equalising revenue between countryside and city — welcomed by a rural Venstre mayor, called "crazy" by a wealthy-suburb Conservative mayor.
Maps directly onto the UK second-homes debate; routing existing income tax by property location, rather than stacking new local taxes, is a mechanism UK commentators haven't discussed.
