    Why is Stamp Duty applied in steps rather than a sliding scale.

    Having steps just distorts the market at the step points.

    Yes, it would be better if it tapered. OTOH, as I recently ranted in another thread, why isn't it directly proportional to the energy performance figure for the building instead, much like car tax now is?

    OK, EPCs are pretty inaccurate, but they could be made better. It'd be a good start...
