Angela Rayner faces having to pay tens of thousands of pounds more in stamp duty if tax officials judge she incorrectly paid the lower rate on her Hove flat, tax experts have warned.

The deputy prime minister could be slapped with an additional tax bill if officials judge she paid too little stamp duty when she bought her £800,000 property earlier this year, they said.
