Tax
Ah, taxes—the magical process where the government takes your money, spends half of it figuring out how to spend the other half, and then tells you they need more. Politicians, those ever-charismatic tightrope walkers of public trust, promise tax cuts while approving pay raises for themselves. Meanwhile, the government, an all-knowing entity with the efficiency of a sloth on vacation, assures you that your hard-earned dollars are being put to good use—like funding studies on why pigeons bob their heads. And when you dare question it? Well, that’s just unpatriotic.
Stamp Duty Thresholds Cut in England and Northern Ireland from April 1st

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is a tax paid on property or land purchases in England and Northern Ireland, with rates depending on the property's cost and whether it's for residential use. As of April 1st, the zero percent threshold will drop to £125,000 and the first-time buyers' threshold will revert to £300,000, with rates changing accordingly. Additionally, there will be a new 5% surcharge on properties worth up to £125,000 if you already own a property worth £40,000 or more.
