Scrap stamp duty and council tax to fix London housing crisis, thinktank says
Centre for London report finds levy on property wealth would free up homes, fund social housing and help renters save for deposits
Stamp duty should be scrapped and replaced with a new property wealth tax to fix London’s housing crisis, a leading thinktank has proposed.
