It is gratifying to see that Angela Rayner, who will be our next Prime Minister in the coming months, has given her full throated approval and support to tax avoidance (which, as I am regularly reminding loyal readers, is perfectly legal).
Quite the volte farce from her earlier pronouncements of tax avoidance.
This Damascene Moment came to her when she purchased her £800K second house in Hove. Originally her office were telling the media that this was her second home necessary for work, and that her main residence remained in Ashton-under-Lyme. However, that seems to have been changed as she is now claiming Hove is her only residence (thus saving her £40K on second home stamp duty); as she has removed her name from the deeds of the Ashton-under-Lyme property.
Oddly though, for council tax purposes, she has told Tameside council that she still lives at Ashton-under-Lyme thus ensuring she avoids paying second home premium on council tax on her property there.
Tax does have to be taxing.
