The recent CGT legislation marks a significant change for holders of pre-20 September 1985 assets.

Traditionally exempt from Capital Gains Tax, these assets will now be brought into the CGT regime for future gains accrued from 1 July 2027, while gains accumulated up to that date remain exempt under transitional arrangements.

Asset owners should review their holdings and obtain appropriate valuations to understand the potential tax implications.

• Other amounts already counted as salary or wages for super

✅ Payments must reach super funds within 7 business days of payday

⚠️ ASIC Alert for Business Owners

ASIC is warning about unsolicited emails and letters offering to handle your business name renewals or company reviews. These can look like official invoices - but they’re often from third-party providers, not ASIC.

👉 Key things to know:

• You don’t have to use a third party - you can deal directly with ASIC
• Some notices create urgency or appear like bills when they aren’t
• Extra fees may be charged on top of ASIC’s actual costs

🚨 CGT Changes Are Coming - What You Need to Know


Big changes to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) were announced in the 2026 Federal Budget, with proposed rules set to kick in from 1 July 2027 (subject to legislation).

Here’s the quick snapshot:

• The 50% CGT discount is set to be replaced with an inflation-based (indexation) method
• A minimum 30% tax rate will apply to capital gains
• Changes will apply to property, shares, and other investments
• Existing assets are largely grandfathered, with new rules mainly applying to future gains
• Investment property needs to be valued to serve as the starting cost base for the new CGT changes.

💬 What does this mean?

Potentially higher tax outcomes for investors, and a shift in how people structure investments going forward.

⚠️ These are proposals only (not yet law), so there may still be changes before implementation.

If you’re investing, restructuring, or planning to sell assets in the coming years, now’s the time to start getting advice.

💡 New $1,000 Work Expense Deduction - Coming Soon



From 1 July 2026, the ATO will introduce a $1,000 work‑related tax deduction to make tax time easier for millions of Australians.



✅ Claim up to $1,000 for work expenses without receipts
✅ Choose this or claim your actual expenses if they’re higher
✅ Designed to cut paperwork and save time
✅ Expected to put a little extra money back in workers’ pockets

⚠️ This is a deduction, not a $1,000 cash refund, and it won’t apply until you lodge your 2026-27 tax return in 2027.
