Federal Budget investor guides

Federal Budget guides for AU property investors covering CGT, trusts, SMSF property and housing supply measures, with sources and a clear next step for each.

Which budget topics matter most to investors?

Investors usually need to watch four areas: capital gains tax, how trusts and companies are taxed, SMSF and super rules, and housing supply programs that affect new-build demand. Each guide here explains current rules for Sydney, NSW and Australia, what has been proposed and what to check with an adviser before acting.

Start with your structure

Individuals, trusts, companies and SMSFs are taxed differently. Read the guide that matches how you own property.

Supply programs and demand

National housing programs can influence new supply in some areas. Local supply data matters more than national headlines.

Keep evidence current

Budget announcements are not law until legislation passes, so check budget.gov.au, the ATO and Parliament before acting.

Frequently asked questions
