The Government has announced further detail on its proposed tax reforms, providing greater clarity around a number of measures announced in the Federal Budget. Key updates include:

• Additional CGT concessions for eligible small businesses and innovative start-ups.
• A proposed exemption for genuine testamentary discretionary trusts from the minimum 30% trust tax.
• Retention of concessional treatment for charitable capital gains donations.

We've updated our articles to explain what these announcements could mean:
Proposed CGT changes to reshape taxation of capital gains from 2027: https://www.afsbendigo.com.au/proposed-cgt-changes-to-reshape-taxation-of-capital-gains-from-2027/
Proposed 30% tax on discretionary trusts explained: https://www.afsbendigo.com.au/proposed-30-tax-on-discretionary-trusts-explained/

While these announcements provide greater clarity, all measures remain proposed only and will require legislation to pass Parliament before becoming law.

If you have questions about how the proposed changes could affect your business operations or structure, our team is here to help.
