<p>Inspired by the answer to a different question I wondered:</p>

<p>Can anyone think of a case study example, past or present, when capital gains are inflating adjusted before being taxed. I could imagine this making a lot of sense in high inflation currencies.</p>

<p>If there is an example, what prompted the introduction and was it considered a success?</p>

Has any country attempted to inflation adjust capital gains before taxation?
