₹7.9 crore (£800,000) is the price of a flat bought by Angela Rayner in Hove, UK. The purchase has sparked questions about her property arrangements. Rayner is the deputy prime minister of the UK. She bought the flat in May 2023. It is far from her constituency of Ashton-under-Lyne. Rayner listed the Hove flat as her primary property for stamp duty. But she listed her constituency home as primary for council tax. This saved her money on both taxes. Rayner put her Manchester house in a trust before buying the Hove flat. Some say this was to avoid inheritance tax. Others say it was for non-tax reasons. Experts disagree on whether Rayner broke any rules. The issue has gained attention as the UK looks at new property taxes. (Updated 2 Sep 2025, 02:12 IST; source: link)
