Result:
Although few in numbers, thanks to eveyone who supported this petition.
Background (Preamble):
Each year billions of pounds is raised through stamp duty (£4.6 billion in 2005/06), which is basically a property tax, but it all goes straight to the Treasury.
If a proportion went directly to the Local Authorities in which the duty was raised, it would help alleviate the financial pressures on increasing rates of Council Tax.
If a proportion went directly to the Local Authorities in which the duty was raised, it would help alleviate the financial pressures on increasing rates of Council Tax.
Petition:
We, the undersigned, petition the Chancellor of the Exchequer to divert a proportion of the £4.6 billion raised annually through residential stamp duty directly to the Local Authorities in which the duty is raised.
