Will Labour’s Capital Gains Tax CRUSH House Prices⎥Ep. 2240
Labour has just unveiled its plan for a new Capital Gains Tax (CGT) – one aimed squarely at property investors.
In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down exactly how it would work, who’s affected, and what it could mean for the housing market if Labour wins the 2026 election.
You’ll learn:
-How the proposed 28% property-only CGT would be applied from July 2027
-What investors need to watch for – including partial gains and valuation traps
-What this could mean for house prices, investor demand, and new builds
If you own an investment property (or plan to), this episode will help you understand how this policy could reshape the NZ property market.
