    On what basis do you make the assumption that I have been the beneficiary of massive property value inflation? Without going in to the details, I can assure you that I haven’t. If you think that any CGT would be offset against the costs of a private nursing company, you must be totally deluded.

    I suppose capital gain tax would mean less inheritance tax. If someone had to sell their property to pay for social care, which some get for free, should they pay capital gains tax then? I’ve paid more than a bit of tax in my life.
