Yes, but this should be accompanied by reduction or elimination of other taxes (such as no tax on income and dividends in KiwiSaver allowing for better compounding. Then capital gains tax when drawing in retirement. This encourages saving and allows for wealth building).

No, use an ad valorem tax instead.

Yes on investment properties but should be tax deductible expense

Everyone should by a 5% capital gains tax, not just targeting certain contributing members of society.
