The 2026 Federal Budget has reshaped the rules for property investors in Australia. In this video, we break down exactly what's changing, what's grandfathered, and where the smart money is moving.
What we cover:
🔹 Negative gearing restrictions on established properties from 1 July 2027 (and why new builds are exempt)
🔹 CGT discount overhaul — and the investor choice provision for new builds
🔹 The 30% minimum tax on discretionary trusts from 1 July 2028
🔹 Why SMSFs may now be the most powerful vehicle for property investment
🔹 Grandfathering rules: what happens to properties you already own
🔹 Why the numbers now strongly favour new and off-the-plan property
Key dates to know:
📅 1 July 2027 — Negative gearing changes take effect
📅 1 July 2028 — Discretionary trust minimum tax begins
📅 3-year restructuring window available for trust-held property
Whether you're an existing investor reviewing your portfolio or planning to buy in the next 12–24 months, these changes directly affect your tax position and investment strategy.
