Stamp Duty in Scotland (LBTT)
Reduce stamp duty in Scotland to boost property sales and kick start the economy following the Covid 19 crisis and the Oil Industry slump.
Why is this important?
I realise that during Covid 19 it is only fair to accept that to a certain degree a governments focus can only be on the one thing. but it feels to me, that while this has been happening, the Scottish Oil Industry has crashed with very little news coverage or government intervention. 1000's of people have lost their jobs, 1000's of people are now in the position of having to sell their homes. the stamp duty must be reduced to encourage buyers which in turn assists the many in dire situations to sell their homes quicker before facing repossession or bankruptcy.
