They’ll change it to 40% and act like it’s a massive favour

I want this but not going to hold my breath. This has been something the government has said was “just around the corner” for several years now.

Worth noting that FF and FG were the *only* parties that pledged to do this in their manifestos – just so anyone happy at the news knows who to thank.

I definitely think there should be a tax on Capital Gains but, as with all things, it shouldn’t be a flat rate. If you’re Johnny Big Bucks and you close your positions, you should get taxed the full 41%. If you’re a normal person just treating investments like a savings account, then that amount should be more in line with DIRT or even less. Speaking of DIRT, that should be scaled as well. Why should someone on low-income with a bit of savings lose 30% of their interest earned, the same way wealthy people do? Just a small tax bracket based on your liquid assets and income would do.

Well known since last September tbh.
It likely won’t be this budget but in this gov
