What is your view of a reduced capital gains tax rate for people who founded businesses?

The government has announced a new Founders’ Relief, offering a 10% capital gains tax rate on up to £10 million of qualifying gains when founders and early investors sell shares in eligible businesses.

Due to begin in April 2027, the measure aims to encourage business creation and investment.

Supporters argue it would reward entrepreneurship, while critics question its cost to public finances and whether the benefits would be widely shared.
