#LabourLies In 2023, Chris Hipkins ruled out a capital gains tax, saying it wouldn’t happen under his prime ministership. Now he’s saying if he were elected, he would introduce a capital gains tax that would punish hardworking Kiwis. He said he wouldn’t, now he’s saying he

Labour’s slippery slope capital gains tax means valuing thousands of homes by 2027 – a logistical nightmare. But Edmonds says valuation day details won’t be revealed until after the election. They’re not being upfront with Kiwis. You can’t trust Labour.

Labour is trying to fundraise based on their own misinformation claiming their Capital Gains Tax is not hitting businesses. Every single business operates from a building or land. That’s a tax on business!

National backs Kiwis to work hard, invest in their future, start businesses and improve their lot in life. I won't introduce a capital gains tax that whacks savers, investors and businesses - and puts a handbrake on our economic recovery. Instead, National will keep building
