New Negative Gearing & CGT EXPLAINED: Australia Just REWROTE Capital Gains Tax

Australia’s property tax rules are changing in a major way. In this video, I explain the new rules for negative gearing and the capital gains tax discount, including what changes from 1 July 2027, who may be grandfathered, and how the new rules could affect property investors going forward. The old property tax strategy was simple: claim losses now through negative gearing, then sell later with a discounted capital gain. But under the proposed reforms, that strategy may not work the same way anymore. This is one of the biggest changes to Australian property tax in years, and if you own investment property, plan to buy property, or invest in any types of capital assets, you need to understand how the rules may work from here.
