National leader Simon Bridges and NZ First leader Winston Peters are both claiming credit for killing the capital gains tax. STUFF Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says there will be no capital gains tax implemented under her leadership. Peters himself put out a tweet celebrating the move, saying "We've heard, listened, and acted: No Capital Gains Tax." "We're disappointed that the Tax Working Group's unanimous recommendation to implement a capital gains tax on investment properties isn't going ahead. When asked if he thought it was Bridges or Peters who killed the CGT, Shaw replied: "Well, Winston Peters is in Government, Simon Bridges is not."
