Here are some of the major areas and people who could be impacted:

• Property and landlords: A new annual levy on high-value homes, or even an extension of capital gains tax (CGT) to main residences above a certain threshold, would mark a key shift in how we tax housing wealth.
• High earners and business owners: For company directors, consultants and professionals, potential changes could reduce incentives to save and invest.
• Affluent retirees and savers: Savers who rely on ISAs for tax-free interest or dividends could find their options narrowed. Combined with the inclusion of pensions in the IHT regime from 2027, the traditional “safe havens” for wealth are becoming less secure.
  Investors and succession planning: Those planning to sell investments, gift assets, or transfer family wealth should consider timing carefully. Acting quick might preserve current allowances and reliefs.
