Why the timing matters more than ever
The May 2026 Federal Budget has introduced the most significant proposed changes to property investment taxation in decades. Negative gearing is proposed to be restricted on established residential properties purchased after 12 May 2026 from 1 July 2027. The 50% CGT discount is proposed to be replaced with a 30% minimum tax from the same date. Discretionary trust income is proposed to be subject to a 30% minimum tax from 1 July 2028.
These are proposals, not yet law. But investors who understand their current land tax position, their portfolio structure, and the strategies that work regardless of what happens to these proposals are better positioned than those waiting to see what happens.
✓ Land tax strategy is completely unaffected by every 2026 Budget proposal. The exemptions, thresholds and multi-state diversification strategies in this course are budget-proof. That is exactly why the time to learn them is now.
