UK deputy PM admits underpaying property tax
British Deputy Prime Minister, in a apartment purchased in the Southern British coastal town, acknowledged that the amount of tax received a low wage to the ministry standards directed to surveillance.
Angela Rayner, who is also the Minister of Housing of the UK, is under examination for days that he does not avoid paying a apartment on Hove and deliberately hesitate to pay the right tax rate.
In an interview with Sky News, Rayner said that he was thinking of resigning in this regard and that his majesty (HMRC) tax authority was in contact with the tax authority to say that there is an additional real estate tax on the property.
On Wednesday, he added that he would direct him to the keeper of the ministry standards.
“I made a mistake based on the advice I trusted because I bought it.”
Rayner was accused by his political opponents of trying to avoid paying a higher tax rate in the second houses, leaving his shares in his home in the North England election area while buying the property in Hove.
Opposition Conservative Deputy Ben Obese-Engy, “Housing secretary to try to play the system for financial gain is unacceptable. Angela Rayner should resign,” he said.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Labor Party government encountered a series of scandals, the four ministers had to resign from injustice since it was elected more than a year ago.
He and Rayner were criticized at the beginning of their time for accepting the donations of expensive clothes, an application they ended.
In August, Starmer’s homelessness Minister Rushanara Ali resigned after the tenants had to leave in a house and then raised the rent sharply – an application that the government tried to stop.
Opposition Conservative Party Finance Chief Mel Stide, families and enterprises are faced with tax hikes, while Rayner’s not to pay the right tax rate is “extraordinary”, he said.
“The Deputy Prime Minister should not determine the rules when they can’t keep themselves,” he said.
Rayner said: “In order to ensure that they can look at what happened in a transparent way, I directed myself to the independent advisor in the Ministry Law and also contacted HMRC and said I was ready to pay it.”
