How would a new property tax impact Londoners?

from The Standard

The Treasury is considering a new tax on the sale of homes worth more than £500,000 as a step towards a radical overhaul of stamp duty and council tax - although no final decision has been made. With half of all home sales over £500,000 in London, it would have a disproportionate impact on the capital. The Standard’s Chief Political Correspondent Rachael Burford has the latest. And in part two, male-scepticism is rife among straight female daters, with many women giving up on relationships entirely. But do they really have the worse end of the stick, or is it just as hard for guys? Freelance journalist Arielle Domb joins us to share her findings after interviewing some of London’s bachelors about the state of modern dating. Hosted on Acast.
