I think this is complicated DBP and there will be a lot of people in the country who have potentially gone down this route to try and avoid paying tax on assets passed on to children.

My money is currently on her relying on bad advice....I think the key question is did she ask the right people for that advice.....but it could well be that the advisor is liable for this, not her.

Fair points Ipswich but did she give her advisor all the background information relating to her property dealings to enable them to give comprehensive advice? I guess we’ll find out in due course after the inquiry.

The buck stops at her - she has to take ultimate responsibility.

That`s why they pay for professional indemnity insurance vee and will have passed that cost onto her.

If she`s taken all reasonable steps (including sharing all relevant information) she cant be expected to be the expert on every topic of every expert she engages.

Any chance we could move this to the politics forum?

‘Angela Rayner’s lawyers say they did not give tax advice on buying her seaside flat in Hove - and claim they have been made “scapegoats” in the scandal.

Conveyancing firm Verrico & Associates has insisted it did nothing wrong when handling the purchase of the deputy prime minister’s £800,00 property in May.

Ms Rayner said she had not attempted to dodge taxes when failing to pay the required £40,000 in stamp duty on the second home, but that she had made a “mistake” based on incorrect legal advice.’

When are "tax advisers" not tax advisers ?

A property advisor is NOT a tax advisor. You`re talking glorified estate agency. Your estate agent will do various checks but all they`re really worried about is ensuring your money is legit.

Given she is in the second most powerful position in the country, is university educated and appears to have worked hard to get to where she is, I don`t think she can claim daft lassie here.

Saying that, I`d like to see an investigation into ALL MPs. It`s obvious the media are picking on her because she`s "common" and a woman. Very little is said about other MPs with properties in various trusts.

Correlation isnt necessarily causation Jake.

I also find her bloody annoying. And I dont like hypocrites. It could easily be those things, and the revenue generated from running a story of interest that has driven the press focus.

And on the MP piece... I'm sure there's a case for investing more in HMRC investigation teams. Feels like it'll generate more than it costs if done well and give people some meaningful employment.

Her position was untenable but compared to what the last Conservative government got up to and what, god help us Reform will get up to, her misdemeanors are small fry.

And although my eyes were open
They just might as well be closed

To be fair, Tad, this thread started out about the so-called hypocrisy of her buying a second home. There was no suggestion at that time that she might have underpaid tax.

The thing that always worries me about these `scandals` is that they usually indicate a terrible lack of judgement on the part of the `offender`. If they don`t show good judgement in their private lives, what`s the likelihood of them showing it in matters of government?

At least she resigned. The Tories would have written something into law to ensure she kept her job.
