Labour Party

Strongly agree

Yes, but only on investment property

The Labour Party has shown support for a capital gains tax specifically targeting investment properties in the past. In 2015, they introduced a 'bright-line test' which taxes gains on residential properties sold within two years of purchase, excluding the family home. This policy was later extended to five years under the Labour-led government in 2018. This suggests that they would be more likely to agree with a capital gains tax on investment properties.

Agree

Yes

The Labour Party has historically supported the idea of a capital gains tax, as it was part of their policy platform in the 2011 and 2014 general elections. However, they dropped the policy in 2019 due to a lack of public support and coalition partner opposition. While they may still believe in the concept, they have not actively pursued it in recent years.

Agree

Yes, but only for overseas investors

While the Labour Party has not specifically advocated for a capital gains tax targeting only overseas investors, they have implemented policies aimed at curbing foreign investment in New Zealand's housing market. In 2018, they passed the Overseas Investment Amendment Act, which restricts the sale of residential properties to overseas buyers. This suggests that they may be somewhat open to the idea of a capital gains tax for overseas investors, but it has not been a primary focus of their policy platform.

Disagree

No

However, they dropped the policy in 2019 due to a lack of public support and coalition partner opposition. While they may not be actively pursuing a capital gains tax, their historical support for it suggests they would not strongly agree with this answer.
