More middle-class families could be clobbered by nasty 'Mansion Tax'

In the coming weeks, we will see a new Prime Minister. It is incredibly likely the person coming into power is Andy Burnham.

This so-called 'lurch to the Left' by Labour has put affluent Britons into panic mode – and rightly so.

All we have to go on currently is speculation, but there are rumours over sweeping capital gains tax changes and a flat rate on inheritance tax, and that's just for starters.

You can read about it here: Burnham will try to soak the middle class. What you can do NOW to protect your money.

But also mooted is huge reform to council tax. One of the options is to replace stamp duty and council tax with a single annual levy set at 0.48 per cent of a property's value.
