Rejected petition Refund first time buyers' stamp duty in line with current legislation.

On 22nd November 2017 it was announced that, with immediate affect, stamp duty for first time buyers purchasing a property for under £300,000 would be abolished. What about all the other first time buyers who, just the day before, saved up and paid out thousands of pounds for stamp duty?

More details

I paid £3300 stamp duty just 12 days ago! I could have delayed completion if we knew.
