About the cost
Year shown: 2025-26, the first of the relief's two years. Party figure only: £20m in each of 2025-26 and 2026-27 and nothing after, which the party says is based on Treasury costings (costings document, Table 1, "CGT on sales to tenants: suspend"). No official or independent costing was found. Low–high is an editorial ±10% because the source gives a central figure only.

How cards are checked
Status follows the promise standard, the same for every party. A status changes only on evidence. Anyone named on a card can reply, and replies are published next to it. AI Journalist is our automated reviewer: it re-reads every card against its live sources (the quote word for word, dates, evidence, status, cost, neutral wording, legal risk). Human editors review next.
