Tuesday, 15 November 2016 5:26 pmI see my former employer, The Daily Telegraph, has picked up on a theme little old Betaville has been writing about for the last month or so. Today, the venerable newspaper splashed the main book on a campaigning piece - dubbed 'Stamp duty' - advocating major changes to the tax (for readers outside of the UK you have to pay stamp duty when you purchase a property).
Wednesday, 02 November 2016 6:24 pmWell, if Philip Hammond, Chancellor of the Exchequer, does bring about major changes to stamp duty ( here is the link to my previous story - https://www.www.betaville.co.uk/news/rare-alert-hm-treasury-said-to-be-weighing-major-changes-to-property-tax-may-even-abolish-stamp-duty/) it won't just be London-listed housesbuilders that will be affected. As you can imagine, several loyal readers own multi-million pound houses in London, the United Kingdom, that have seen their values go down recently because of the stamp duty increases brought about by the David Cameron and George Osborne a couple of years ago.
