U.K. deputy prime minister Angela Rayner has resigned after an independent inquiry found that she didn't meet ethical standards over a recent home purchase. Rayner acknowledged on Wednesday that she didn’t pay enough tax on an apartment in Hove. She referred herself to the independent adviser on ministerial standards who delivered a report to Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Friday. Property purchases incur levies in the United Kingdom. There are higher charges for expensive homes and secondary residences. Reports suggest that Rayner saved 40,000 pounds or around $54,000 by not paying the appropriate stamp duty. Rayner has been a vocal critic of tax underpayments.
