Extending the zero-rate could carry a significant cost to the Exchequer, and this must be viewed in the context of about £50 billion of requests for relief from VAT since the EU referendum.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/12/2020 answer text <p>Homeowners who pay the higher rate of Stamp Duty Land Tax on purchases of additional property can receive a refund of the higher rate if they sell their old main residence within three years of the purchase. For most people, three years is enough time to sell a property.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Government recognises that there will sometimes be exceptional circumstances not in the control of the buyer or seller which mean that a previous main residence cannot be sold within three years. If someone purchased a new main residence on or after 1 January 2017, they may be eligible to apply for a refund if they were prevented from selling their previous main residence before the expiry of the three-year time limit owing to exceptional circumstances beyond their control. The previous main residence must be sold before HMRC will consider whether the circumstances are exceptional.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman question first answered 21/12/2020 14:49:07 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
