REPORT
This amendment is intended to clarify the wording of the Proposition – to ensure that is covers the instances in which a property is acquired rather than purchased.
Current owners of second or additional properties will not be subject to a Capital Gains Tax upon the disposal or sale of such properties.
However, a Capital Gains Tax may apply upon the disposal or sale of property that owners acquired after January 2028 that are non-main residencies.
Financial and staffing implications
There will be various staffing requirements –
• the department for Treasury and Resources will need to bring forward the relevant legislation, however, this should be within existing department budget;
• there will be a staffing requirement within the Legislative Drafting Office to draft the required legislation; and
• there will be a staffing requirement to implement the new taxation regime.
There is no data available to provide revenue forecasts. Children's Rights Impact Assessment
