BIG Changes Coming to Your Taxes! 🏛️
The latest Budget is here, and it’s a game-changer for property owners, investors, and small businesses. Here’s the "too long; didn't read" version:
🏠 The Property & Investment Shake-up
• Goodbye 50% CGT Discount: From 1 July 2027, the 50% discount is being replaced. You'll now be taxed on gains adjusted for inflation, with a 30% minimum tax on net gains.
• Pre-1985 Assets: Even assets bought before 1985 will be hit by this new 30% minimum tax starting in 2027.
• Negative Gearing: This will be limited to new builds only from 1 July 2027. If you already own an investment property, you’re safe—you’re "grandfathered" in until you sell!
💼 Perks for Workers & Small Business
• Tax Cut for Workers: A new $250 tax offset (WATO) starts July 2027, and personal tax rates are dropping!
• Small Biz Win: The $20,000 instant asset write-off is now permanent, helping you invest in your business.
• Trusts: Discretionary and family trusts will face a 30% minimum tax on distributions from mid-2028.
📉 The Bigger Picture
• Inflation is expected to peak around 5% by June.
• The government is looking to save billions by reforming disability welfare and these tax changes.
