1 day agoIt's a disgrace': Rayner's constituents call for her resignation after stamp duty row
On Wednesday, the deputy prime minister acknowledged for the first time that she had mistakenly not paid the correct amount of stamp duty when she bought a flat in Hove earlier this year. When she bought the 800,000 property in May, she paid the standard rate of stamp duty, estimated to be about 30,000, rather than the rate for second homes, which is higher, and would have amounted to as much as 70,000.
