    Yes, this is good Idea to add Capital Gain Tax. One the other side - you need to add one allowance system for workers salary. You need to investigate how our professional avoiding their taxes. Doctors, Dentist, Lawyers charge their fee on a cash basis. So you need to have monitoring systems for them. The government should give Desktop Computer to each and every Doctor / Dentist with simple Data Base System to track how many patients are coming to see them Doctors or professional can update their clients details with their ID number. That system can be linked to all the District Inland Revenue Offices.
