Deputy Prime Minister of the UK is embroiled in controversy over alleged tax evasion

Today, most of the British media are reporting on the issue of the UK Deputy Prime Minister evading taxes.

The Daily Telegraph focuses on the UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner, quoting a source who said that she "is finished" after admitting to an error in stamp duty.

The UK Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner is under controversy for allegedly using trusts to avoid property stamp duty. In August 2025, it was revealed that she declared her newly purchased seaside apartment as her main residence to save up to £40,000 in stamp duty. This incident has sparked public doubts about the financial transparency of British political figures.

Stamp duty in the UK is usually applied to property transactions, with tax rates depending on the property value. By declaring the apartment as her "main residence," Angela Rayner avoided high stamp duty. This practice violates the UK tax law provisions regarding the taxable use of properties.
