What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Simeon Brown stated that the Capital Gains Tax implemented by the Labour Party will immediately expand to affect more people. He suggested this expansion could occur before May 2027, when the Labour Party would need to deliver its first Budget to address a $18 billion spending gap. During a recent debate, Deborah Russell, the Labour Party's Revenue spokesperson, did not rule out the expansion of the Capital Gains Tax.
