Abolish stamp duty for cohabiting couples who split & buy share of co-owned home

Petition Details

If a cohabiting couple split up & one party would like to buy the other out of the family home to remain & create stability for children etc then stamp duty is liable on any share of the house bought from the leaving party & the mortgage debt taken on. Married couples do not pay this tax.

Additional Information

We feel this is a totally outdated and unfair taxation on modern relationships and should be abolished.
