How are they defining most polluting diesel cars I wonder? Found that those impacted will be moved up one tax band, but nothing about what's getting moved.

- Could you keep me updated on your situation i can then advise the same to my solicitors.

Technically this is my first time buy but only first time for a house i intend to live in!

Hardly. An income tax cut for 70% and a stamp duty abolition for 95%.

The only place that doesn't affect "the vast majority" must be where George Osborne lives!

No income tax cut for anybody. It's an increase in line with inflation so in real terms, no change

!

Which will be entirely replaced by the higher house prices it creates.

I've always paid stamp duty including my first house over 30 years ago, why shouldn't everyone else, unless I can get a refund 🤑

Technically it is your second house purchase, your first house purchase was the one you made with your parents.

I am afraid this will not apply to you.

I was just so relieved that the threat of cutting income tax relief on pension contributions for 40%ers didn’t come to fruition. That could have been very costly. Phew.........
