Backdate the Stamp Duty holiday to start of the financial year

Rejected 21 signatures

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.
