Voir le postIn 2024-25 584000 paid Capital Gains Tax (CGT), less than 1% of population. CGT marginal rates are 18% to 24%. Wages taxed at 20% to 45% + NIC. Budget hands another tax perk to the rich. Up to £10m lifetime gains for founders of companies to be taxed at 10%. Perk will be abused. Rich get richer.
