The UK’s Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner has referred herself to the standards watchdog after admitting she did not pay enough stamp duty on her second home.
The Daily Telegraph reported that she saved £40,000 in stamp duty when buying a £800,000 flat in East Sussex, after allegedly telling tax authorities it was her main home.
She told the local council it was her second home – and pays a higher level of council tax there as a result.
There is no suggestion she has broken any laws, and Rayner said she "deeply" regrets "the error that has been made".
