🚨 TONIGHT’S FEDERAL BUDGET COULD CHANGE THE GAME FOR INVESTORS, BUSINESS OWNERS & EVERYDAY AUSTRALIANS 🇦🇺

Here’s what’s expected based on today’s AFR leaks and budget previews 👇

🏠 Negative gearing may be restricted to NEW builds only from July 2027
📉 The 50% capital gains tax discount could be scrapped and replaced with inflation indexation
💼 Trust distributions may cop a flat 30% tax rate
🚗 EV tax incentives could be wound back for higher-priced vehicles
💸 A small income tax offset may return for workers
🛠️ The $20k instant asset write-off for small business could become permanent
📊 Tax loss carry-back measures may help struggling businesses offset previous profits
🛡️ Massive increases in defence and fuel security spending are expected
✂️ Big cuts and tighter rules around NDIS spending are reportedly coming too

Translation?

The government is trying to balance: 
• housing affordability
• inflation pressure
• cost of living pain
• productivity
• and a budget deficit that keeps growing

But there’s a bigger message underneath all this…

Australia is entering a new era where: 

➡️ property investing may become less attractive for existing dwellings - What does that mean for renters if the investment incentive isn't there?
➡️ business cash flow management becomes even more important
➡️ tax strategy matters more than ever
➡️ and relying on “the way things used to work” could get expensive fast

For business owners, this budget may create opportunities IF you move early.

The permanent instant asset write-off and loss carry-back changes could become huge for companies investing in equipment, growth, tech and expansion.

But higher taxes, reduced concessions and ongoing inflation pressure mean cash flow will still be king in 2026.

Tonight’s budget won’t just affect accountants and investors.

It’ll affect: 

• borrowing power
• business confidence
• property prices
• construction
• consumer spending
• and how aggressive banks become with lending

Big night ahead 👀
