Major Property Tax Changes Explained
In this Property Now episode, the conversation focuses on proposed changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing and property investing across Australia.
The discussion explores how these changes could affect:
- First home buyers
- Property investors
- Small business owners
- Developers
- Renters
Why Investors Are Concerned
The episode explains how proposed changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing may reduce incentives for traditional property investing.
According to the discussion, this could:
- Change borrowing capacity
- Shift investor demand
- Increase focus on new developments
- Push more investors toward high-yield property markets
There are also concerns around rising rental pressure if fewer long-term rental properties remain available.
Off the Plan Property Could Benefit
One key takeaway is that off the plan and newly built property may become more attractive under the proposed rules.
The conversation highlights:
- Depreciation benefits
- Continued negative gearing advantages for new builds
- Increased focus on housing supply
- Greater investor demand for development projects
Developers and landholders are discussed as potential winners if demand shifts toward new housing stock.
What This Means for First Home Buyers
The episode questions whether these tax changes will genuinely help younger Australians enter the property market.
Topics include:
- Deposit challenges
- Rising rents
- Borrowing power
- Rentvesting strategies
- Housing affordability
The discussion also explores whether future buyers may need entirely different investment strategies moving forward.
Coposit and Flexible Property Buying
Coposit helps eligible buyers secure off the plan property with a smaller upfront amount instead of waiting years to save a traditional large deposit.
This can create more flexibility for first home buyers trying to enter the property market earlier.
