Capital gains tax abandoned by Government

Fiona from Henderson

While the idea of CGT was only a recommendation from the Tax Working Group, it managed to gain enough steam to have almost everyone talking about it.
Both sides had valid points, but the wide range ramifications would've been detrimental to so many e.g. for those who have signed up for KiwiSaver.
This decision is a win for every New Zealander especially the poor, as they would've been the unfortunate ones that could least afford this suggested tax system.
Unfortunately, the businesses and the rich have 'escaped' yet another stake at them having to pay more taxes.
Another look at their tax rates will have to be investigated and what they are actually claiming for in their tax forms.
With the new ways that the IRD is introducing, it will be interesting to see what happens there.
