MODERATORS
Because people choose to open businesses based on the market they’re targeting, not CGT. That might be a factor with a comparable business, for instance a corner store, but you’re not likely to start a reptile relocation business in NZ or a fjord touring company in Australia.
You’ll open it where the demand for it is.
CGT isn't really an issue for corner stores... It's for businesses that grow that provide a lot of jobs

That was an example, as was the fjord tourism company.
Businesses, large or small, will factor in demand before CGT.
The links don’t alter that fundamental of business.
