“Or just have an address there and use a VPN from anywhere they want.”
In most developed countries, if you move you must register your new address with the government. Failure to do so makes you subject to a varying set of penalties depending on where you are. The government wants and needs for various purposes, your physical home location.
Where I live in Florida, land is allocated various different uses based on whether someone can sleep there. You can’t, for instance, have someone stay in a camper on property designated single family home. That’s because taxes are different on single family homes, multiple family homes, hotels, and commercial property.
This is about Brexit.
And, if Trump wins, it ain’t dead, even if BoJo has sold out.
I think Jim Reid and Luke Templeman owe each one of us reading this thread a 5% - from their own salary - aggravation fee. The two of them are nothing but a couple of oligarch wannabes. That Jim Reid has an autographed John Roberts poster in his dorm room.
Deutsche Bank does not design government policy. I can’t imagine why a commercial bank would waste time on a report like this.
I wondered what on earth Deutsche Bank could possibly be getting out of this and the only thing I can come up with is either Soros is paying them or they’re doing it in the great spirit of, “Hey Yuchie, let’s see if this weather balloon can make it to the moon!”
Then 55, 50, 45.....
Prior to the industrial revolution, didn't 90% of people work from home, leading 'full economic lives'?
And I love how this tax will "generate" billions of dollars, magically. The word I would use to describe the magic is "take".
So how exactly is $49billion going to support those of us who work outside our homes each day? Doesn’t mention anything specific.
And for the stupidest thought of the day....this tax will go away when this virus is gone, right?
Working from home will prove to be unworkable as controls to prove the actual work are put in place by employers
The fact is that people at home will be less productive and thus cost prohibitive.
Most workers are inherently lazy and incapable of working unsupervised
But wait! Earth Mother Gaia is pleased that all those people are no longer commuting. Working from home should be encouraged not discouraged.
Sick ‘em Greta!
WTF? When does a bank push for taxes????
Deutsche is suggesting this for every One and not just their employees?
Aren’t you happy that Deutsche Bank KNOWS how well off we all are? And what calculations did you use Einstein ?
What is preventing Deutsche Bank from extending interest free loans at a low percentage to those lower income workers if they are so worried about them?
“A 5 percent income tax for remote workers is justified primarily from the money saved between transportation and food, as well as the added flexibility working remotely creates.”
What about increased utility costs? People staying home will use more water and electricity.
I suppose the saying the savings could be set aside or invested is just crazy talk.

Left-wing green fanatics have been trying to get people of of cars and commuting for 40 years. So now they will tax the people who fixed the problem?
Hey, what about the 30% White Privilege tax??? We need that too!
Reminds me of the taxman from the 1980s Popeye movie.
