This paper provides a timely and thought provoking analysis of the case for a Property Speculation Tax (PST) as a possible instrument to tackle the emerging housing boom in London and other property hotspots.

A PST may not be the right response, but we believe it is a fiscal tool worth further consideration and debate.
