The 50 per cent capital gains tax discount is ending from 2027 after Australia's new tax law passed both houses. And if you own an investment property or are planning to buy one, the changes to CGT and negative gearing directly affect you. In this episode of Money Matters, SBS Hindi's Swati Sharma sits with tax expert Nitin Saby, known as the 'tax surgeon', to break down what has finally become law after months of proposals and who is affected.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- The end of the 50% CGT discount, and how gains are taxed from 2027
- Does the new law affect the property you already own, or only future buys?
- What 'grandfathering' means, and the 12 May 2026 cut-off
- Negative gearing: new builds vs established properties
- The new $1,000 instant work deduction, and when you can claim it
- The $250 Working Australian Tax Offset, and what it changes
In this episode of Money Matters, tax expert Nitin Saby, known as the 'tax surgeon', breaks down the new capital gains tax, negative gearing changes and the worker tax relief that have now become law, and explains what they mean and who they affect.
