The Conservatives have called on HMRC to launch an investigation into whether Angela Rayner has evaded tax after she admitted an underpayment of stamp duty on a seaside flat, the Conservatives have said.
Deputy Prime Minister Ms Rayner’s explanation that she was given inaccurate legal advice “cannot withstand scrutiny”, Tory party chairman Kevin Hollinrake said in a letter to HMRC, calling for it to open a tax evasion investigation.
