[cite]Posted By: JohnBoyUK[/cite]When does the stamp duty thing kick in? Have they said.
(Am due to complete by 30th April and at the moment, I'm paying £1,650 stamp duty on my 2 bed flat. Although having a house with the ex-Mrs previously, I'm considered a first-time buyer for mortgage purposes, so hopefully will be the same for the stamp duty.)
You only qualify if your name has never previously appeared on the land registry.
[cite]Posted By: Airman Brown[/cite]Historically, the duty on cider has been less than the tax on beer, which is why it's long been a cheap way to get drunk. There's no real justification for this, hence the correction.
Sorry, but not a good move. Many cider brewers are British and the apple orchards are also in the UK so there are a lot of British jobs at stake, plus there has been a growth in cider brewing over the last few years aimed not at the mass market but those of us who want something different from beer/guinness and soft drinks.
I wonder what the effect of this rise will be? I predict unemployment.

Oh well. B@stards. Would never happen under a Tory Government ;-)
