 The podcast discusses the potential introduction of Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on principal homes in the UK. Tax expert Alan Kennedy explains how such a move could impact homeowners—particularly those downsizing or relying on property sales for retirement—by reducing profits after tax. He highlights risks of market stagnation, as people may delay selling to avoid CGT, especially since inheritance tax rules can reset property values at death. The conversation also explores possible reforms to Stamp Duty Land Tax, the idea of an annual property tax, and knock-on effects on wealthy individuals, landlords, and the UK property market. Kennedy warns that heavy taxation may push wealth creators and international investors out of the UK. Finally, they touch on Family Investment Companies as a potential structure for managing property and wealth more tax-efficiently.
