Labor's federal budget is falling flat with its target demographic as millennials say they would rather vote for One Nation than Labor or the Greens, according to a new Redbridge poll.
CGT changes are adjusted for inflation and still represent an extremely attractive vehicle for people. What else are you going to do with money you’ve amassed, sit on it like a dragon?
All it does is shift some or the tax burden to rich arseholes and make hoarding land less attractive (even adam smith thought landlords fucking sucked).
Because people choose to open businesses based on the market they’re targeting, not CGT. That might be a factor with a comparable business, for instance a corner store, but you’re not likely to start a reptile relocation business in NZ or a fjord touring company in Australia.

Increasing CGT to one of the most expensive in the world doesn’t need a citation… Engage in some basic thought.
You create a business, take on massive risks, fund it yourself even, then when you go to sell you’re looking at essentially 100% capital gain
That’s not extremely attractive. Why not create the business in New Zealand where that would incur 0% tax, because they don’t have CGT?

You’ll open it where the demand for it is.
CGT isn’t really an issue for corner stores… It’s for businesses that grow that provide a lot of jobs

That was an example, as was the fjord tourism company.
Businesses, large or small, will factor in demand before CGT.
