💼 The 2026–27 Federal Budget is here - and there's a lot to unpack!

Treasurer Jim Chalmers handed down the Budget on 12 May 2026, and it includes some big changes for everyday Australians, property investors, small businesses, and trust holders.

Here are some of the highlights:

🔹 A new $250/year tax offset for working Australians from July 2027
🔹 Claim up to $1,000 in work-related deductions - no receipts required
🔹 $150 energy rebate continues for households and small businesses
🔹 Negative gearing on investment properties restricted to new builds from July 2027 (existing properties are safe!)
🔹 Capital gains tax discount reduced for new investment property purchases after tonight
🔹 Small business instant asset write-off of $20,000 is now permanent
🔹 Discretionary trusts will face a 30% tax rate from July 2028

Not sure how these changes affect you? That's what we're here for! 😊

Give us a call on 9830 1555 or drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll help you work through it.

Interest Rates & Property in 2026: What You Need to Know

As we move through 2026, clients are asking the same key questions:
• Where are interest rates heading? 📈
• Is now the right time to invest? 🤔
• How should debt be structured? 💼

Now is the time to review your position. Is your lending structure resilient at current & future rates? Are there opportunities you are missing in a diverging market? Is your strategy still aligned? 🔍

The right advice creates clarity - even in uncertain markets. 💡

Applying for a home or investment loan? 🏡 Don’t let your credit report hold you back.

Before a lender looks at your income or savings, they review your credit history. Things like number of credit enquiries, number of times you’ve changed your home address, and credit repayment conduct, are all very important for Lenders!

The good news?
Checking your own credit report is a soft enquiry and won’t affect your credit score.

In Australia, you can access free reports from:
• Equifax
• Experian
• Illion

Look out for:
✔️ Accounts that aren’t yours
✔️ Late payments you didn’t realise were recorded
✔️ Defaults (which can stay on file for up to 5 years)

Even one default can:
• Reduce how much you can borrow
• Lead to higher interest rates
• Delay your finance approval

Tip: Check your credit 3 - 6 months before applying for a loan so you have time to fix any issues.

If you’re interested in accessing your credit file, our trusted finance partners at First Point Group have over 25 years’ experience and can help you review your credit report at no cost.

Bridging the SME Funding Gap: Smarter Ways to Access Business Finance in 2026

Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) are the backbone of Australia’s economy - but many are finding it harder than ever to secure funding from traditional banks.

Even strong businesses are facing reduced limits, slower approvals, and stricter lending criteria.

At KSR Partners, we’ve partnered with First Point Group (Finance Brokers & Consultants) to help business owners navigate this new lending environment.

While banks tighten criteria, non-bank lenders, fintechs, and private credit funds are filling the gap -offering faster, more flexible, and more tailored finance options.

Together with First Point Group, we help clients:
✅ Plan strategically before seeking finance
✅ Prepare lender-ready financials
✅ Compare bank and non-bank options
✅ Manage the process from start to finish

In today’s market, flexibility, preparation, and smart advice make all the difference.
