  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  @ MP voted aye for higher taxes on purchasing second homes and buy-to-let property. 
  
  @ MP voted no for lower taxes on purchasing second homes and buy-to-let property. 
  
  
  The majority of MPs voted for lower taxes on purchasing second homes and buy-to-let property.
  
  MPs were considering the Finance (No. 2) Bill.[1][2][3]
  
  The amendment rejected in this vote was:
  
  :amendment 81, in page 49, leave out lines 14 to 27.
  
  The rejected amendment was accompanied by the following explanatory statement from its proposer:
  
  :This amendment would mean that the Stamp Duty Land Tax (Temporary Relief) Act 2020 no longer applies to additional dwellings.
  
  The amendment would have omitted subsection (3) which set a new series of rates of Stamp Duty Land Tax applying to additional dwellings such as second homes and buy-to-let properties. Subsection 3 would have set Stamp Duty Land Tax for such properties at 3% for Â£0-Â£250k, rather than 2% for Â£0-Â£125k and 3% for Â£125k-Â£250k/.[3][4]
