Property vs Shares The Capital Gains Tax Dilemma⎥Ep. 2262

About this episode

If Labour brings in a Capital Gains Tax, does that mean investing in property is over, and shares become the better option?

In this episode, Ed and Andrew run the numbers to find out which performs better once tax is factored in.

You’ll learn:

-Whether property still beats shares when a Capital Gains Tax applies

-How leverage shapes your total return

-When shares actually outperform, and when property still wins big

Using real modelling from Opes+, Ed and Andrew show how much more (or less) you could make from each investment after 15 years.
