Scottish opposition politicians, particularly from the Scottish Green Party, are pressing for King Charles to forfeit his exemption from paying stamp duty on property purchases in Scotland. They argue that as the monarch benefits from significant wealth, he should contribute equally to public services through taxes. While King Charles already pays some taxes, critics believe his tax advantages are outdated and arbitrary. The proposal aims to amend the existing tax laws in Scotland to remove the royal exemption, setting a precedent for similar changes across the UK.
Opposition politicians argue that King Charles should not enjoy an exemption from stamp duty, suggesting he should pay the same taxes as all citizens.
The Scottish Greens have proposed changes to ensure the king pays tax on property transactions, highlighting a broader argument for tax equality among citizens.
