Angela Rayner will not publish 'personal tax advice' over council house sale - unless Tories do the same

Angela Rayner stated that she won't disclose the "individual tax recommendations" she obtained regarding the sale of her council home, despite a progress in the police investigation concerning her residency.

The deputy leader of the Labour party expressed her assurance on BBC Radio 4's Today show that she did not violate any regulations in the sale of her council residence and that she does not think she was obligated to pay capital gains tax on it.

Ms Rayner made it clear that she had received advice, but when questioned about why she wouldn't make it public, she stated that it was a matter of personal tax advice. However, she was willing to cooperate with any authorities who needed to see it.

She continued by saying that even though she agreed to give the information to the police and HMRC, "I won't reveal all the personal information about my family for the past 15 years".

When asked to explain her refusal to share the advice and questioned about how she would react if a conservative politician used the same excuse, Ms. Rayner replied that she would consider sharing the advice if her conservative opponents were also willing to do so.

She stated that if we want fairness among all individuals and require Conservative leaders to share their tax information, then it's essential that everyone does so. It's a matter of reciprocity- if you show me your taxes, then I'll do the same for you.

"I am willing to share all of my tax information from the past 15 years, if the deputy chairman and the rest of the group, along with Rishi Sunak and Jeremy Hunt, agree to do so as well."

Ms Rayner has defended herself after it was announced that the Greater Manchester Police are reviewing their decision to not investigate allegations made against her regarding her living situation. This decision came after a complaint was made.

The Member of Parliament representing the Labour Party has been receiving a lot of attention lately for the selling of a council house she once owned in Stockport. There have been accusations of her dodging capital gains tax, but she has refuted these allegations.

However, she has also been under examination for allegations that in 2010, she might have resided predominantly at her former spouse's home address, even though she listed her own address for voting - possibly violating electoral regulations.

According to Ms Rayner, she scheduled payments for bills and council tax while residing at that property. She also claimed to be registered to vote there. If what she says is true and it was indeed her main residence, then she could have avoided paying capital gains tax when she sold it for £127,500 in 2015.

Nonetheless, some have alleged that even though she officially signed up at Vicarage Road, she predominantly resided at Mr. Rayner's residing place on Lowndes Lane.

The Greater Manchester Police investigated the allegations and initially stated that there was no proof of any wrongdoing.

Nonetheless, James Daly, the Conservative MP representing Bury North, who had initially raised concerns about Ms Rayner's conduct, subsequently contacted the authorities and expressed dissatisfaction with the inadequate investigation, prompting a reassessment of their initial decision.

On Wednesday, a representative for the police force made a new announcement stating that they have received a report about their choice to not look into a claim, and are currently reviewing this decision.

The person who issued the complaint will receive information on the result of the new evaluation at an appropriate time.

Allegations about Ms Rayner were initially published in a book authored by Lord Ashcroft, a former deputy chairman and donor of the Conservative Party. The book has been distributed in different parts in the Mail on Sunday.

The news agency reported that she earned a gain of £48,500 by opting for the "right-to-buy" scheme on her former council accommodation. This initiative offers reduced rates to tenants living in local authority housing who wish to purchase their own home. Ms Rayner has expressed her disapproval towards the program, stating that certain tenants are given excessive discounts.

As stated in the newspaper, Ms Rayner purchased her former council house located on Vicarage Road, Stockport for a reduced price of 25% in 2007. She later sold the property at the current market value eight years later and received a higher profit.
