The 50% CGT Discount is GONE — How Much More Tax Will You Pay

The May 2026 Federal Budget has officially ended the 50% Capital Gains Tax discount for Australian property investors. From 1 July 2027, individuals, partnerships, companies, and most trusts will be subject to a new system combining cost base indexation with a 30% minimum tax. For most property investors, this means significantly more tax on every future property sale.

In this video we run the actual numbers. We compare the old 50% discount system to the new indexation plus minimum tax system using real Australian property scenarios. By the end you'll know exactly how much more tax you'll pay on your next property sale — and whether the changes affect your existing holdings.
