The Tax Factor -  Episode 56 - National Insurance, Capital Gains Tax Reform and French tax hikes

On this week’s top-rated podcast, Roger Holman is joined by Rehana Earle to unpack the latest in tax developments. With speculation growing that employer National Insurance contributions could be targeted by the Chancellor, we discuss whether the Government’s pledge to freeze rates for workers will shield employees from the impact. And is it time for a major overhaul of Capital Gains Tax to make it fit for purpose? Meanwhile, across the Channel, France is rolling out ‘temporary’ tax hikes – but how long will they really last? And finally, Roger looks into the complexities of designing a wealth tax and why it proves to be so tricky.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
