Capital gains tax could be back on Inland Revenue’s agenda again, as it’s consulting on the future of the tax system as part of its next long-term insights briefing to the ministers of revenue and finance.

IR says it wants to open discussions on the challenges the tax system faces and possible options to address them. Labour says it is looking at its tax policy and is considering capital gains, wealth or capital income taxes.
