Dale Vince called on the Prime Minister to increase Capital Gains Tax (CGT) to the same rate as income tax. Vince stated the resulting funds should be used to raise the personal allowance from £12,570 to £15,570. Kemi Badenoch opposed the increase, arguing that such a tax would be detrimental to the economy and discourage investment.
