You still get a £24k a year tax free benefit from an interest free loan. If a member of the public gets loan interest paid for him of £24k a year - then HMRC would normally tax £24k of extra income.<br /><br />Ordinary people do not need £24k of mortgage interest to buy a 1st home - let alone a 2nd one to visit 3 or 4 days a month as in Dave's case. <br /><br />Because of this fiddle Cameron is sitting on c£300k of state funded capital gains - given that house prices have doubled in Witney since we started funding his mortgage - tell me how this is fair? Or fairer than otehr MPs profiting from the various quoted ridiculous claims. <br /><br />Perhaps we could agree to pay interest on MPs 2nd homes up to a reasonal amount (certainly not £24k) providing that a commitment is paid to repay any capital gains on the share of the funding provided by the state?tory boys never grow uphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11172736984147732661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-8369409495276219522009-05-12T19:47:00.000+01:002009-05-12T19:47:00.000+01:00Slick PR man produces slick PR response to 'crisis...Slick PR man produces slick PR response to 'crisis' - what a surprise.
