UK police investigate Labour deputy leader’s house sale following complaint from Tory deputy chairperson

Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner has said she will publish her tax records for the last 15 years if Tory MPs such as Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt do likewise. Photograph: Jordan Pettitt/PA Wire, has refused to publish the tax advice she received in relation to the sale of a house over a decade ago – saying she would only do so ifPolice are re-examining claims that Ms Rayner may have broken electoral law more than a decade ago when she lived between two council houses in Stockport.

Dan Neidle, a tax expert, has estimated that Ms Rayner could have been liable for a capital-gains tax bill of £1,500. However, that may not have been the case if she had spent more than £15,000 on home improvements on Vicarage Road or if she had jointly nominated that property with her husband as their main residence.

She said she would be prepared to hand over that information, if necessary, to either HM Revenue & Customs or the police. Ms Rayner has previously said that the row was manufactured in an attempt to “smear” her ahead of a likely Labour general election victory this year.
