What the petition asks
Covid has hit everyone hard financially and yet some people have moved house regardless of the financial uncertainty & stimulated the housing. Market already. I am asking the government to backdate the Stamp Duty holiday to all individuals who purchased a house since April 1st 2020.
The government should backdate the amount of money that has been paid in stamp duty so we are given the same opportunity as others but I g a house in 2020/2021.
