Abstract
Stamp duty makes it more difficult to purchase a home. Not only does it increase the initial outlay required, but it also adds to the strain of meeting stringent savings requirements to secure a mortgage. But make no mistake, a land tax for homeowners is worse. It is effectively rent on what should otherwise be freehold land.
