Labour's deputy leader had denied allegations she owed capital gains tax on the sale of her former home in Stockport.
Labour's Angela Rayner has been cleared by His Majesty's Revenue and Customs after claims she failed to pay capital gains tax on the sale of her former home. The claims emerged earlier this year, alleging that when she sold the ex-council house in Stockport in 2015, her primary residence had actually been at her husband's nearby address. Ms Rayner always denied the claims.
The police statement added that information from the investigation had been passed on to both Stockport Council and HMRC. The council said shortly afterwards that it had concluded no further action would be taken on its behalf. More from Sky News:Labour MP suspended after 'serious' complaintWho will win?
