Lots of people mistakenly, in my view, think that if you pay an inheritance tax, you shouldn't pay capital gains tax.
I think that's wrong, because imagine we've both got a big capital gain, and you realise it the day before you die, and I realise it the day after I die.
Why are we taxed differently?
Mm.
An inheritance tax is always a second tax.
It's always after you've paid your taxes in life, your estate pays more taxes.
So I think it makes complete sense that if you're going to have a capital gains tax, you shouldn't be able to avoid it by dying.

But if you don't do it, then you're going to slash that revenue.

I'm getting excited about that.
People can choose when they realise their gains.
If a reformed government said, we're going to slash the capital gains tax rate when we come into power, a lot of people would hold on to their capital gains and that would also trash the revenue.
Yeah, but is that nobody knows in a reassuring way or nobody knows in an unreassuring way?
