Would a capital gains tax crush the housing market? Or would it barely make a dent?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew explore the evidence from other countries like Australia, Canada, the UK, and the US to see what really happens when a CGT is introduced.

You’ll learn:

  • Whether a CGT would cause NZ house prices to drop in the first five years

  • How overseas housing markets have performed with a CGT

  • Why a CGT might be more of a revenue-raiser than a housing market killer

If you’ve ever worried a CGT could derail your property investing plans, this episode gives you the facts, not just the politics.
