thedailymirror--2020-07-07--Rishi Sunak set to unveil stamp duty holiday for thousands of housebuyers

Thousands of housebuyers could be set for a stamp duty `` holiday '' as part of the Chancellor 's plans to boost the property market following the coronavirus shutdown .
Under plans expected to be unveiled by Rishi Sunak on Wednesday , Brits could be in line for a mammoth tax break on all homes purchased .
The Chancellor is expected to remove tax on the purchase of homes of up to £500,000 , according to leaked plans ahead of the mini-Budget .
But how would a stamp duty holiday work and how long would it last ?
We explain @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I get a stamp duty holiday and how would it work ?
Ministers are currently in talks to increase the threshold at which housebuyers start paying stamp duty in England and Northern Ireland .
This 'holiday ' is expected to last for six-months - though more details will be announced during tomorrow 's speech .
First time buyers are already exempt from stamp duty up to £300,000 , and pay discounted rates up to £500,000 .

That would enable some homes at the lower end of the housing market in London to be taken out of stamp duty .
It would then encourage more people to buy - giving the property market a much needed boost .
Property website Zoopla said the holiday would mean an extra 73 % of sales would be exempt from @ @ @ @ @ @ @ `` Stamp duty holidays are a tried and trusted way to support housing market activity and provide an additional incentive to move home at times when the economy has been hit , '' Richard Donnell , research and insight director at Zoopla said .
`` Temporarily removing stamp duty for homes up to £500,000 for six months will cost the Treasury £1.3billion but it will ensure almost one in ten sales will be free of the tax , compared to just 16 % now .
`` The greatest benefit will be found in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more homes with average prices closer to £500,000 .
`` Housing activity has already rebounded strongly since the market reopened and any major change to stamp duty would provide a further boost to demand for housing .

First time buyers are already exempt from stamp duty up to £300,000, and pay discounted rates up to £500,000.
For everyone else, the levy only applies after £125,000. Once you reach this threshold, you typically pay 2% of the value between £125,001 and £250,000, and 5% between £250,001 and £925,000.

Property website Zoopla said the holiday would mean an extra 73% of sales would be exempt from the basic level of stamp duty.
"Stamp duty holidays are a tried and trusted way to support housing market activity and provide an additional incentive to move home at times when the economy has been hit," Richard Donnell, research and insight director at Zoopla said.
"Temporarily removing stamp duty for homes up to £500,000 for six months will cost the Treasury £1.3billion but it will ensure almost one in ten sales will be free of the tax, compared to just 16% now.
"The greatest benefit will be found in markets across southern England where there are more homes with average prices closer to £500,000.
"Housing activity has already rebounded strongly since the market reopened and any major change to stamp duty would provide a further boost to demand for housing. The Government would hope that the savings feeds into additional spending in the real economy with more cash spent on home improvements and white goods rather than enabling buyers to spend that bit more on their next home."

Stamp duty is a tax paid by people buying properties. How much you pay depends on whether you're a first time buyer, the location and the price of the property you are buying.

The government also has a handy calculator that tells you how much you would pay on a property.

thedailymirror--2020-07-07--Number 10 warns face coverings must cover mouth and nose to be effective

Number 10 has warned the public to wear face coverings properly - covering up both the nose and the mouth to ensure they 're effective .
Asked about scientific reports calling for wider use of masks , the Prime Minister 's official spokesman said : `` It is something which we always keep under review .

`` Therefore , a face covering @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to reduce the spread of coronavirus droplets , helping to protect others . ''
Earlier , the President of the Royal Society , Professor Venki Ramakrishnan said everyone should wear a face covering in public to reduce the risk of a second wave of Covid-19 infections .

`` There are no silver bullets , but alongside @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also need everyone to start wearing face coverings , particularly indoors in enclosed public spaces where physical distancing is often not possible . ''
Prof Ramakrishnan said the UK is `` way behind '' other countries in wearing face coverings , as he claimed that messaging has been unclear and that `` inconsistent '' guidance has led to people following their own preferences .

He said people should wear a mask when they leave home - particularly in enclosed indoor spaces - but acknowledged that the public remain "sceptical" about the benefits.

It comes as two new reports on face coverings were published by the scientific body, including one which found the UK was slower to take up wearing them compared with other countries.
Prof Ramakrishnan said: "The virus has not been eliminated, so, as we lift lockdown and people increasingly interact with each other, we need to use every tool we have to reduce the risk of a second wave of infection.

The Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (Sage) has previously said that evidence does not currently support the use of masks to protect the wearer in the general population.
But the group said that if someone is infectious with Covid-19 symptoms, face coverings will reduce transmission.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has concluded that the use of a medical mask could prevent the spread of droplets from an infected person.
It said, however, that "there is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including Covid-19".

"What is clear is that it isn't the public's fault for not wearing masks in the UK," said Professor Melinda Mills, of the University of Oxford and lead author of the publication.
"Rather, consistent policies and effective public messaging is vital, which have even differed across England, Scotland and Wales."
The study, published from Oxford's Leverhulme Centre for Demographic Science, found that cloth face coverings are effective in reducing the spread of the virus, for both the wearer and those around them.
This applies to homemade masks made with the correct material, the authors added, while loosely woven fabrics - such as scarves - were shown to be the least effective.
The study also found that face masks are part of "policy packages" that need to be seen together with other measures, such as social distancing and hand hygiene.
Authors of the second report said new evidence "strongly supports" the use of masks where physical distancing of more than one metre cannot be maintained - such as in shops and office buildings.
An update on an earlier publication from Data Evaluation and Learning for Viral Epidemics (Delve), the report - which has not been subject to formal peer review - references a study which suggests that face coverings can also provide protection to the wearer.
