I guessed that, otherwise people could claim refunds from years ago - It was a joke.

Sorry to piss on your bonfire but if you've completed you aren't getting a refund.

Wahey! I exchanged four months ago (and forked out a shed load of stamp duty when I completed a months later)

So, refund here we come!

Are they refunding it? I thought it was new from tonight, but if you've exchanged but not completed you can choose which system to be taxed under.

[OwlHoot]

Yes

Stamp duty cut, even if you have exchanged, Result!

a large bottle to be enjoyed tonight.

No he wasn't, you can tell from the little sideways lean and the almost satisfactory grimace that he was simply letting off a little steam......

"In a moment or two he will be looking as awkward as when he ate that bacon sandwich," Mr Cameron said at Prime Minister's Questions.

Supposedly the posher trains have been leased to a different company down South early next year. See TransPennine Express loses trains to 'David Cameron's stomping ground' - The Journal

They spent millions re-opening the Todmorden Curve, and now there are no trains because they're heading down south

the Beeb seen to have calculated the stamp duty differently

The Chancellor turned the 300-year-old duty into a virtual “mansion tax”. For a typical £510,000 house in London the bill will fall by £4,900 — from £20,400 to £15,500.

I'm missing something.

Why give them 6 weeks?

If they can't speak English give them nothing from the beginning.

Sorry when I've worked abroad I made triply sure I had a job first and some savings just in case.

[FatLazyContractor]

Migrants to lose unemployment benefits if they have "no prospect" of work after six weeks

[eek]

Yes, i imagine that was what the second bit of QH's post related to. 'New and modern' might turn out to mean replacing NR 60's kit and TPX 2000's kit with 90's stuff from down south. Along with the line, 'well, it's new to you lot. And more modern than most of what we took away'.

Given what I see on the local routes around here the 90's stuff would be a seriously good improvement...

and now done the calculation I'm one of the 2% that pays more looks like I didn't win this time neither does anyone who pays more than £375K but I missed a bullet as I have a choice.

Stamp duty on a £375K house will be £2,500 less tomorrow.
I reckon the break even point today vs tomorrow is closer to £900K.
Over (around) £900K you will be paying more stamp duty tomorrow (unless you have already exchanged then you can choose).
