Cutting stamp duty would worsen the housing crisis, critics warn
Original: Cutting stamp duty will make the housing crisis worse
Commentary is arguing that cutting stamp duty would make the housing crisis worse rather than easier. The claim is that stamp duty relief fuels extra demand in a market where supply is already short, pushing prices up further and doing little to help buyers overall. The argument feeds into a wider debate over whether tax cuts or new housebuilding are the right response to unaffordable housing.
Why now: Stamp duty cuts are back on the political agenda, prompting debate over whether they help buyers or inflate prices.
