June 2025 – What Happened on Duma Travel News

June was a busy month on Duma Travel News. From heated debates over new UK tax rules to a thrilling football friendly, we covered stories that mattered to both investors and sport fans. Below is a quick look at the two biggest pieces that caught our readers' attention.

Real Estate Tax Overhaul Sparks Protest

The UK government rolled out the 2025 Finance Bill, and the real‑estate sector felt the sting. The bill lowers the Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) threshold, slashes Capital Gains Tax (CGT) allowances, and trims dividend relief. On paper, the moves are meant to raise revenue, but for developers and investors they translate into higher transaction costs and narrower profit margins.

Industry leaders quickly organized a response. Major property firms wrote open letters, pointing out that the new SDLT bands could push first‑time buyers out of the market and force developers to delay projects. Smaller landlords argued that the reduced CGT allowance makes it harder to sell held‑over assets without taking a big hit.

What does this mean for the market? Analysts predict a short‑term slowdown as buyers and sellers reassess their strategies. Some developers are already looking at alternative financing options, while others are exploring markets outside the UK where tax regimes remain friendlier. The debate is far from settled, and the outcome will likely shape property investment trends for the next few years.

Scotland’s Friendly Victory: Che Adams’ Hat‑Trick

On the sports side, Scotland delivered a performance that will be remembered for a while. In a friendly against Liechtenstein, striker Che Adams netted three goals, helping the Scots roar to a 4‑0 win. It wasn’t just the goals that mattered – his overall play set the tone, creating space for teammates and forcing the opposition’s defence into errors.

The match also marked the debut goal for George Hirst, who scored the second strike. For manager Steve Clarke, the game offered a chance to test formations ahead of the World Cup qualifiers. The confidence boost from a dominant win and a player in top form could prove crucial as Scotland targets a solid start to the qualification campaign.

Fans are already talking about Adams’ feat. He became the first Scottish player to be directly involved in four goals in a single game since 2015. That kind of impact raises expectations for the upcoming competitive fixtures, and the team’s morale looks high.

Overall, June’s stories gave a glimpse into two very different worlds – the gritty reality of tax policy affecting real‑estate economics, and the excitement of a national team finding its rhythm. Both pieces sparked conversation, whether on finance forums or football fan groups, and they illustrate why staying updated with Duma Travel News matters.

Looking ahead, we’ll keep an eye on how the Finance Bill evolves and whether its tweaks ease the pressure on property markets. On the football front, all eyes will be on Scotland’s next qualifier to see if the friendly form translates into points.
