One of the most interesting conversations we had recently was with an Australian expat preparing to retire.

He told us thought he'd need about $80,000 per year.

So we asked him a simple question.
"What do you spend today?"

After a few minutes of adding up the key expense items.

Dining out.
Family holidays.
Golf.
Memberships.
Helping the kids.
The occasional business class flight.

And then covering the basic living costs.

The reality was his lifestyle wasn't costing $80,000.

It was costing closer to $350,000.

Is it time to start reframing how you think about retirement..?

Instead of just asking - "how much do I need to survive..?"

Start asking - "what sort of lifestyle am I trying to build..?"

One of the biggest financial traps for Australian expats isn't tax.

It's lifestyle creep.

From the outside the expat couple with the private driver, private club memberships, luxury holidays and champagne brunches looks wealthy.

It looks like they've made it.

But in many cases it's fully funded by debt and there's no surplus income being trapped.

One of the most dangerous phrases in financial advice?
“Yeah, we do expats too.”

Because Australian expat advice is not just normal Australian financial advice for a client living overseas.

It’s:
→ Cross-border tax
→ Residency rules
→ Superannuation complications
→ Offshore structures
→ International estate planning
→ Multiple tax systems interacting at once

And the scary part is many people giving advice in this space have never truly specialised in it.

We've seen expats told:
→ Not to contribute to super because it “makes you a tax resident”
→ That Australian shares are always taxed at 30%
→ That they can freely run an SMSF overseas without issues
→ That moving countries has no major CGT implications

Wrong advice in this space can create six-figure mistakes.

The only thing more dangerous than getting specialist expat advice from ChatGPT…
Is getting it from a generalist Adviser pretending to be a specialist.

The Federal Budget changed a lot of things.

But one structure quietly came out looking as attractive as ever.
Superannuation.

Trusts, companies and personal investing appear to becoming increasingly taxed and complex.

But super still offers some of the most attractive long-term tax settings Australians have access to.

And many Australian expats are only now starting to realise just how valuable that may become.

17/05/2026

For years, many Australians becoming expats planned around the deemed disposal rules.

Build investments in Australia.
Move overseas.
Potentially crystallise gains under the existing CGT framework.

But under the proposed indexation changes?
That strategy may become significantly more expensive.

Because the changes don’t just impact investors staying in Australia.

They may reshape the economics of leaving Australia too.

Same portfolio.
Same growth.
Potentially a dramatically different tax outcome.

This is why timing and planning matter so much for Australians considering an overseas move.

We break this down in today’s post.

Ally Wealth was proud to sponsor the Conquer Cystic Fibrosis Ball in Perth last night.

An evening with a purpose far greater than business.

The night was about bringing people together to raise critical funds for research, support families impacted by cystic fibrosis, and continue pushing towards what matters most.

A cure.

Great food.
Great people.
And a cause worth fighting for.

Thank you to the@conquercysticfibrosis team and everyone involved in making the night such a success.

The conversation has certainly shifted.

It’s no longer just... “How do I build wealth in Australia?”

For many ambitious Australians after this Budget it's becoming...“Where is the best place to build wealth long term?”

Because when you combine:
→ Reduced investment incentives
→ Higher complexity
→ Tighter trust rules
→ Changes to CGT treatment

People naturally start exploring alternatives.

We’re already seeing more Australians looking globally at jurisdictions like:
→ Singapore
→ Dubai
→ Other low-tax international hubs

Are you starting to explore your options..?

This Federal Budget quietly changed the rules for investors 🚨

Behind the headlines on housing and cost of living, the 2026–27 Budget delivered:
→ The end of the 50% CGT discount
→ Ring‑fenced negative gearing
→ A 30% minimum tax on discretionary trusts
→ A quiet winner: superannuation

If you’re an Australian at home or across the globe, this directly impacts how you structure wealth, when you sell assets, and how much tax you’ll pay over the next decade.

We’ve broken it down clearly and practically in our latest blog.

The rules just changed.
And many investors may not have realised it yet.

From July 2027:

→ The 50% CGT discount is gone - back to the old indexation method.
→ Negative gearing is ring‑fenced
→ Trusts face a 30% floor from 1 July 2028
→ Structure matters more than ever and company ownership is back in the picture

If you’re an Australian looking to grow your wealth, these changes are important to consider.
