⚠️ Significant Tax Reforms on the Horizon ⚠️

The 2026–27 Federal Budget includes some of the biggest proposed tax changes in nearly 30 years — covering capital gains tax, negative gearing, trust distributions, superannuation, and EV FBT rules.

As the Budget notes, “many of these changes interact with each other… the combined effect is considerably larger than any single measure on its own.”

🏡 Investors
👩‍💼 Business owners
🧾 Trust beneficiaries
💼 Anyone planning to sell assets
💰 Those with growing super balances

…these proposals could affect you.

📞 If you want to understand how these changes may apply to your situation, get in touch — early planning gives you more options.
