§ Mr. Madelasked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food how many member countries of the European Community exempt agricultural undertakings from local property taxes.
§ Mr. WaldegraveI have been asked to reply.
Comprehensive information is not readily available, and the structure of local taxation varies considerably across the European Community. However, I understand that agricultural undertakings enjoy full or partial relief from the various local property taxes in at least four member states.
