Abolish the Unfair Stamp Duty Tax on Home Buying and Selling

The Issue

We have all heard the news that Stamp Duty will be increased from April 2025.

Stamp Duty is a tax unique to UK; no other country holds its citizens under this tax. Rather than serving a specific purpose, the funds collected simply recirculate to the government.

I truly believe this tax doesn't possess a clear rationale, and it's time to question its existence. Your input in this is not purely for my benefit. Think about the future - our children and their children! Why should they inherit this!? Each and every one of us can do something to change this.

According to a study by PWC, stamp duty is "one of the most inefficient taxes", potentially costing the economy £3.1 billion a year (Tax by Design, 2011). Isn't it time that we as a society stand up and call for its elimination?

Let's all unite and get rid of the Stamp Duty. This is a moment to stand up for a fairer system, one that does not penalize individuals for working towards the security of a home. Alongside this, calling for more transparent and accountable use of our tax contributions is of equal importance. Join me in the pursuit of justice in our taxation system, call for the abolishment of the Stamp Duty. Please sign this petition!
