George Osborne reveals changes to stamp duty in his Autumn Statement

The video discusses changes in stamp duty, highlighting benefits for sellers like Joanne Morrow in Birmingham. The new system aims to remove barriers to home ownership but results in an £800 million annual loss for the Treasury. Immediate implementation is praised, with new tax rates reducing costs for most buyers, though high-end properties face higher taxes. The luxury market, accustomed to high taxes, may be affected. The video concludes by questioning if the changes fix an unfair system or start another boom.
