The New Rules.
Are You Ready?

The 2026–27 Federal Budget just changed the rules for every Australian investor. CGT. Negative gearing. Shares. Property. Trusts. Super. Most investors don't know what changed — or what it means for their money.

The Problem

The rules changed on Budget night.
Most investors are still in the dark.

The 2026–27 Budget introduced the most significant changes to Australian investment tax in nearly three decades. And unlike most budgets, this one affects decisions you need to make right now — not at tax time.

📉

The 50% CGT discount is gone

From 1 July 2027, capital gains will be taxed under a new CPI indexation model. For most investors that means a significantly higher tax bill when you sell.

🏠

Negative gearing has changed

Buy an established investment property after 12 May 2026? Your rental losses can no longer offset your wages. If you didn't know this, you may already be affected.

The window to act is closing

Some decisions — like selling assets under the old rules — must be made before 1 July 2027. Every month without a plan is a month of opportunity lost.

😟

Clear advice is hard to find

The legislation hasn't fully passed Parliament. Plain-English explanations of what this means for ordinary investors are still very hard to come by.

Don't navigate this alone. Our guide breaks down every change in plain English — no jargon, no legal degree required.

I've owned investment properties for twelve years and genuinely had no idea how significantly the negative gearing rules changed on Budget night. This guide explained everything in plain English. I now know my existing properties are fully protected and exactly what to watch for on any new purchase. Worth every cent.

As an SMSF trustee I was worried the new rules would impact our fund's CGT position. The superannuation chapter made it crystal clear — our fund is unchanged and actually becomes more attractive under the new regime. The comparison tables and worked dollar examples made it incredibly easy to follow. Highly recommend.

I read three different news articles about the CGT changes and still came away confused. This guide sorted it all out in one sitting. The decision flowcharts alone are worth the price — I could immediately see which rules apply to my shares portfolio. The action checklist at the end is something I'll refer back to all year.

The 50% CGT discount disappears on 1 July 2027. Some of the most important decisions — like whether to sell assets under the old rules — need to be made in the months ahead. The sooner you understand the rules, the more options you have.
