SBS Podcast : Insights on Australian Federal Budget 2026-27 and the Tax Reform 🔖

Following the release of the 2026–27 Federal Budget on Tuesday, 12 May 2026, the Australian Government has announced one of the most significant packages of structural tax reform in the past 25 years. Key areas of proposed change include Capital Gains Tax, Negative Gearing and Family Trusts Tax.

In the current environment, it is hard to ignore the growing sense of uncertainty.

What lies ahead? How should we respond? And what steps can we take now to protect and strengthen our financial position?

In times like these, clarity matters. 💡

In the latest podcast contributed to SBS Vietnamese, Ha Nguyen, Managing Director at Advanced Partners www.advancedpartners.com.au, shares insights on the key announcements of the Budget and what they may mean for business owners, investors and family groups.

Latest update: The Government is seeking to progress the first two proposed tax reforms, relating to negative gearing and the CGT discount, as quickly as possible. Draft legislation is expected to be released as early as tomorrow, so there will be more updates to come.

Stay informed, stay prepared and seek advice early. 📌

15 May is always a special day for tax agents and accounting firms in Australia, the day we need to meet the Australian Tax Office (ATO) lodgement benchmark by lodging at least 85% of our clients’ tax returns on time.

It may sound simple, but every firm knows how much work sits behind that number, especially in an environment of staff shortages and increasing compliance requirements in Australia.

Last year, AP reached the benchmark at 85.1% without requesting an ATO extension. This year, our team went even further - achieving close to 90% on-time lodgement one day before the deadline. 🙌

This milestone reflects the dedication of our whole team across Vietnam and Australia: the long hours, late-night emails, weekend work, and genuine commitment to our clients and to each other.

15 May is also extra special as it is the birthday of our Chief of Staff, Ms Janet Huong Giang. 🎂

Happy birthday, Giang, and congratulations to the entire AP Team on this wonderful achievement and another great year of teamwork together. ✨

Investing in Australian Property: How Can Investors Optimise Tax Effectively? 🏡

Property has long been an important wealth-building asset for many investors. However, not everyone fully understands how to use effective tax planning strategies to manage tax obligations in a compliant, practical, and commercially sensible way.

In this discussion, Ha Nguyen, Managing Director of Advanced Partners, shares some insights on property investment in Australia, including tax implications, and strategies that may help investors optimise their tax position while remaining fully compliant.

Please note that tax rules and policy settings may change, particularly following this year’s Federal Budget announcements. Investors should stay informed and seek updated advice before making decisions. ⚖️

We will continue the conversation with SBS Vietnamese soon, especially on any tax changes announced after the Federal Budget.

In Vietnamese culture, it is very common for parents to financially support their children, from giving money to buy a home, allowing them to live rent-free in an investment property, to transferring assets. It is often seen as a natural responsibility.

However, when these actions take place in Australia, things become far more complex. From a legal and tax perspective, actions such as gifting money, providing free accommodation, or adding a child’s name to a property title can all lead to significant implications, from tax obligations to impacts on Centrelink entitlements.

Understanding these issues is key to avoiding risks ⚖️ , because sometimes, a decision made out of care and love ❤️ can lead to unexpected consequences.

🎙️ We warmly invite you to listen to insights shared by Ha Nguyen – Advanced Partners' Managing Director, in the latest podcast on SBS Vietnamese.
