The OBR’s Economic and Fiscal Estimates publication shows that capital gains tax (CGT) is now estimated to raise an additional £6.1bn between 2025-26 and the end of the decade.
Capital gains tax receipts for January to June 2025 were £11.77bn, a 12.9% drop year-on-year, according to the latest data from HMRC.
Thresholds affecting higher rate taxpayers have fallen significantly behind wage inflation and are costing people thousands of pounds, according to new stats.
