   • 2020 July 15, Patrick Collinson, “Capital gains tax review: your questions answered”, in The Guardian‎^[1]:

     That doesn’t mean property is untouchable from a CGT standpoint. An easier target will be second homes and buy-to-lets; the CGT rate could be aligned with income tax rates – at 20%, 40% and 45% – meaning that the tax take on buy-to-let disposals would rise sharply.
