Elizabeth Bradley Discusses Capital Gains Tax Trends in the Daily Mail
Sep 01, 2026Summary
Elizabeth Bradley, Global Practice Group Leader for our Tax, Employee Benefits and Private Client practice, was quoted in the Daily Mail on 29 August 2026 in an article examining record Capital Gains Tax (CGT) receipts and the impact of taxpayer behaviour on future tax revenues. Elizabeth commented that the recent surge in CGT liabilities may be driven by forestalling ahead of anticipated tax changes.
Elizabeth Bradley, partner at law firm BCLP, said the meteoric rise in CGT liabilities might offer 'short-term relief, but it may be a sugar hit caused by forestalling’ meaning future declines in tax takes.
She said yesterday: 'If today’s exceptional spike reflects forestalling before the 2024 Autumn budget, the behavioural response to potential CGT rate changes may now shift.'
