Chancellor's statement live

[Badgers]

Yes it applies to everyone, although the 3% additional rate will continue as normal for those owning more than one property.

Good to hear that

Thanks.

 

[cupid_stunt]

Does anyone know whether this stamp duty holiday will apply to people who already own property? Could be a massive bung for btl landlords?

It only applies to people buying a 'main home', whether they own one already [that they are selling] or first time buyers, but not for second or BTL properties.

Do Ikea still do 50p hotdogs? Asking for a friend with designs on 40 for a tenner.

No, it's as I said above. The threshold is raised to £500k for all buyers, and the 3% additional rate remains: Stamp duty cut extended to second homes and BTL - Mortgage Strategy

yeh extending it to second homes and btl is really helping the hardworking families of the country

we all know you mean Badgers, his love of the ikea hotdog is well-known

You seem to be under the illusion that the chancellor is still Gordon Brown. "Hardworking families" didn't feature once in his speech.

 

[kebabking]

This is so massively underwhelming that I may have to go down to JayJays and buy a load of stuff I don't actually need to make up for suggesting that I was going to use the £500 on stuff I don't actually need.

Fucking Nandos vouchers. Jesus fucking wept....

Oh fair enough, I just heard him saying people buying a 'main home' would pay no stamp duty, so I missed that bit.

it's like david cameron, theresa may and indeed alexander boris de pfeffel johnson had never used the phrase

 

[Badgers]

Fearlessly asking the question no one else dares?

It kept being mentioned I don't watch the news. Thought I might be missing out on a claim form.

 

[Mrs Miggins]

Not only that but fucking Nandos vouchers you can only use on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays!

and then you'll have to queue.

 

[Badgers]

How do I get my double glazing money? Is it cash or into my account?

Just seen this is just part of the Green Homes Grant which is in September so nothing new. Also as usual the UK is falling far behind other countries on this.

Some commentators have said that the £2bn investment isn’t enough, citing that the French and German governments have pledged £36bn and £13.5bn, respectively, towards their green recoveries. Others have warned that the funds allocated for Green Homes Grants could run out very quickly, as happened with the 2014 Green Deal Home Improvement Fund.

Is N***o's confirmed then? What other places? A lot of independent chicken sheds rely on undeclared income so this could cripple them financially

 

[Pickman's model]

i'm always astonished how, when the shitness of the country can't really be anything new, this country ever managed to conquer a quarter of the world's land area.

Reckon we could give it another go? Plundering and such?

 

[wtfftw]

Has anyone done any research about the psychology of consumerism and how if you suggest someone could have something and they decide what they want, maybe in detail, and then you don't give them the discount/whatever they'll go ahead with the purchase anyway.
Like when Ubereats run a 50% off for the first 10000 to use the code. I'm pretty sure it's just a way to get people to decide what they want for dinner and then buy it at full price.


Well that's my thoughts on the £500.

I think in the case of the £500 it was just some people not in government suggesting it might be a good idea. Personally I thought Johnson should go on live TV and beg for forgiveness whilst practicing self-flagellation but that didn't make it into the budget either. Not the final draft anyway.

 

[Nine Bob Note]

No one up for a cheapy Nandos, then?

 

[Badgers]

N****'s UK (like many other chains) is not just fucking shit and bad for people. It is also owned by an international billionaire

Seems a bit off to be offering taxpayer funded vouchers to prop them up

 

[Teaboy]

Its a tough one. I do like 50% off but I don't like a 50% chance of getting the virus and ending up on a ventilator. As ever the agony of choice.

 

[Badgers]

If the public settled for say £400 rather than the initial £500 it could be a goer?

the agony of choice or the choice of agony, not great alternatives

£400 and sunak's head on a stick

 

[Orang Utan]

Apparently not, it’s Orang Utan who got our hopes up.

I'm so so sorry.

(though i did say in my OP that I was sure it would never happen, so fuck knows what for
