Original Note:
This is incorrect. Hunt’s company purchased the properties and paid the relevant stamp duty. As the transaction for was more than 6 residential properties it was treated as a commercial transaction and the additional 3% SDLT was not relevant. This is in legislation from 2003. https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2024/06/03/the-internet-myth-that-jeremy-hunt-avoided-tax/
