Has Angela Rayner broken any rules by dodging stamp duty on her £800k Hove flat?
Angela Rayner encountered criticism for buying an £ 800,000 coastal apartment, which will be a third house for the Deputy Prime Minister this week this week.
Ms. Rayner divides her time between £ 350,000 in the election zone near Manchester and the headquarters of London Grace-Favor in the Admiral House in Whitehall.
Initially, criticism, also the secretary of the housing, Ms. Rayner focused around the allegations of hypocrisy because it was preparing to get 100 percent more council tax charges in the second houses.
Minister Matthew Pennycook, Minister of Housing Matthew Pennycook, spoke again in Parliament about the negative effects of “the availability and receipt of houses for the purchase and renting of local residents”, “short -term permits and excessive concentrations of the second houses”.
Ms. Rayner warned that England is in the midst of the midst of the “living memory of the living memory ,, while Sir Keir Starmer said that the second houses may“ affect the usability and purchasability of local properties ”.
For this reason, some critics seized as an example to the ministers who took the approach of “a rule for them and a rule for us” on the acquisition of a second house by Ms. Rayner.
However, resources close to the Housing Secretary insisted that he had followed all the rules and regulations that have been going on for a second property for a second property and paid all appropriate council tax and stamp tax.
Therefore, while defending a compression over the second hosts – it is also possible to claim that Mrs. Rayner supports policies that will cost their money in the long run, because it thinks it is right. In this context, there is an argument that it really shows integrity rather than hypocrisy.
However, it was deepened on Friday Telegram Ms. Rayner said that the tax authorities were the main home and said that it saves a stamp tax of £ 40,000 in the new coastal apartment.
The newspaper reported that the Deputy Prime Minister had removed his house in Manchester a few weeks before the purchase of the new apartment, and allowed him to avoid the stamp tax payable if he had been the second house. Instead, it is thought to pay £ 30,000 stamp tax.
Although there is no suggestion that Ms. Rayner is doing something illegal, such a movement reveals questions about whether it tries to seize the system it has supervised.
In addition, questions about their loyalty to the Ashton-Under-Lyne election zone-because Congress MPs are expected to spend a significant amount of time in the region they represent.
In the middle of the row on the new Hove property, Tories now claims to break the election law to avoid paying the Council tax on London property.
Ms. Rayner’s tax bill for the apartment in London is currently waived because it has been appointed as a second house, a regulation based on the claim that her family in Ashton-Under-Lyne is the primary residence.
However, Tories this week, Tories, President of Tor Kevin Hollinrakrake’in Ms. Rayner’yı “to ask for higher taxes in family homes, but does not want to pay him,” accusing “he did not meet the legal tests to live there,” he began to try to remove the election roll in Ashton-Under-Lyne.
If the Deputy Prime Minister is removed from the registration in the election zone, it is likely to be responsible for the Council tax invoice at the London house.
At the same time, it raises a political problem, as if there was no permanent residence in the election zone, it is likely that it is likely to criticize because it is not stuck in the local region to represent the people living there in the next elections. Independent He contacted Mrs. Rayner for a comment.
However, Rayner’s defenders rejected most of the allegations as “snobs ve for the minister of the working class, and said that Mrs. Rayner’s life situation was far from being out of usual for a state minister.
The apartment used in the Amiraltry House in Whitehall was used by a large number of PM assistants before him, and it is a standard practice for MPs to keep the taxpayer’s financed London residence.
Don’t write IndependentFlic Everett argued that the anger on Rayner had nothing to do with the ‘hypocrisy’. Because a comprehensive, attractive woman from a comprehensive school near Manchester, who did not speak all the plums in the ice box, or dare to raise his head on the political parapet like a wife.
If the Deputy Prime Minister has pursued the rules completely, it is possible to claim that the government is trying to reach 1.5 million homes to reach 1.5 million homes, instead of criticizing people to buy more houses, rather than criticizing them to buy a second house.
