Expert weighs in on capital gains tax that could be recommended by Tax Working Group

February 21, 2019

Staples Rodway tax expert Maurits Van Den Berg discusses a potential capital gains tax.

The tax working group's final report will be released later this morning and it's expected to make some major recommendations including potentially suggesting a capital gains tax.

One accountant says it'll be hard to get support for such a tax across party lines.

"It may well be that some components of capital gains tax are quite palatable but when it comes to things like the family bach for example - that would be subject to a capital gains tax - that's going to become very contentious and I wouldn't like the job of selling that," Maurits Van Den Berg of Staples Rodway told TVNZ1's Breakfast today.

The Tax Working Group's Final Report will be made public at 11am today.
