Angela Rayner's lawyers insist they did not give tax advice amid stamp-duty scandal
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Angela Rayner's lawyers insist they did not give her tax advice on her flat at the centre of a scandal and claim they have been made scapegoats. Conveyancing firm Verrico & Associates, which managed the purchase of her 800,000 flat in Hove, East Sussex, insisted it had done everything correctly and in good faith, it's been reported. The deputy prime minister has blamed legal advice that she was given for failing to pay a stamp-duty bill thought to be worth 40,000"
The Independent solicits donations to fund on-the-ground reporting across topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, and maintains free access by relying on supporters. The outlet highlights investigative projects such as probing Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC finances and producing a documentary titled 'The A Word' about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Angela Rayner's lawyers deny giving tax advice over her Hove flat purchase and say they have been scapegoated. Conveyancing firm Verrico & Associates says it acted correctly and in good faith. Rayner referred herself to the ministerial ethics adviser after admitting she wrongly listed the flat as her primary residence and benefited from a tax break.
