Backdate stamp duty holiday to the 12th May.

What the petition asks

Backdate the Stamp Duty holiday to when the government announced house moves could once again take place. This is only fair as people who have moved during this time are in exactly the same situation as those who are planning on moving now stamp duty has been abolished.
It is only fair that everyone who has moved and paid Stamp Duty during the COVID-19 pandemic receive a refund. We are in the same situation as prospective buyers.
