Will the government raise Capital Gains Tax in the Budget?

Figuring It Out from the World at One & PM

Available for over a year

Is Capital Gains Tax going to be raised at the Budget? Deputy Prime Minister Louise Haigh is a fan of the idea, as is Defence Secretary Wes Streeting. Even Labour donor Dale Vince has submitted a paper to the Treasury on how raising it in line with income tax could help fund an increase in the personal allowance to above £15,000. The World At One's Sarah Montague and PM's Evan Davis 'figure out' the arguments for and against.
