The New Rules.
Are You Ready?

The 2026–27 Federal Budget just changed the rules for every Australian investor. CGT. Negative gearing. Shares. Property. Trusts. Super. Most investors don't know what changed — or what it means for their money.

The Problem

The rules changed on Budget night.
Most investors are still in the dark.

The 2026–27 Budget introduced the most significant changes to Australian investment tax in nearly three decades. And unlike most budgets, this one affects decisions you need to make right now — not at tax time.

📉

The 50% CGT discount is gone

From 1 July 2027, capital gains will be taxed under a new CPI indexation model. For most investors that means a significantly higher tax bill when you sell.

🏠

Negative gearing has changed

Buy an established investment property after 12 May 2026? Your rental losses can no longer offset your wages. If you didn't know this, you may already be affected.

The window to act is closing

Some decisions — like selling assets under the old rules — must be made before 1 July 2027. Every month without a plan is a month of opportunity lost.

😟

Clear advice is hard to find

The legislation hasn't fully passed Parliament. Plain-English explanations of what this means for ordinary investors are still very hard to come by.

Don't navigate this alone. Our guide breaks down every change in plain English — no jargon, no legal degree required.

I've owned investment properties for twelve years and genuinely had no idea how significantly the negative gearing rules changed on Budget night. This guide explained everything in plain English. I now know my existing properties are fully protected and exactly what to watch for on any new purchase. Worth every cent.

As an SMSF trustee I was worried the new rules would impact our fund's CGT position. The superannuation chapter made it crystal clear — our fund is unchanged and actually becomes more attractive under the new regime. The comparison tables and worked dollar examples made it incredibly easy to follow. Highly recommend.

I read three different news articles about the CGT changes and still came away confused. This guide sorted it all out in one sitting. The decision flowcharts alone are worth the price — I could immediately see which rules apply to my shares portfolio. The action checklist at the end is something I'll refer back to all year.

Got questions? We've got answers.

Everything you need to know before deciding if this guide is right for you.

Yes — the CGT changes apply to all investment assets, not just property. Chapters 7, 15, 16 and 17 cover shares, ETFs and crypto specifically, including how the new indexation model and 30% minimum tax affect share investors and what strategies still work.
Yes — the guide was written and finalised in May 2026, directly following the 2026–27 Federal Budget announcement on 12 May 2026. It reflects all current proposals as announced, including the CGT indexation changes, negative gearing restrictions, 30% minimum tax, and trust reforms.
The guide covers every common investor scenario in detail — property, shares, SMSFs, trusts, small business, and more. However it is general information, not personal financial advice. Its purpose is to give you a thorough understanding of the new rules so that when you do speak to a registered tax agent, you are fully informed and can have a much more productive conversation.
Most readers finish it in one to two hours cover to cover. The guide is written to be read straight through, but each chapter also stands alone — so if you only care about property, or only about shares, you can jump straight to those chapters and get everything you need in under 30 minutes.
The guide is a PDF file — it works on any device including your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. Immediately after payment you'll receive an email with a secure download link. You can also download it directly from the confirmation page. No app required, no subscription, no expiry — it's yours to keep.
No — the main residence CGT exemption has not been changed by the 2026–27 Budget. If your principal place of residence qualifies for the main residence exemption, any capital gain on its sale remains fully exempt. The reforms are targeted at investment assets, not owner-occupied homes. Chapter 11 covers this in full.
The guide clearly notes that the measures are proposed legislation that must pass Parliament before becoming law. However the negative gearing cut-off date of 12 May 2026 has already been established and the political direction is clear. Understanding the proposals now gives you time to plan — whether the rules pass as announced, are modified, or are delayed, you'll be far better positioned than investors who wait.

⏰ The clock on the old rules is ticking

The 50% CGT discount disappears on 1 July 2027. Some of the most important decisions — like whether to sell assets under the old rules — need to be made in the months ahead. The sooner you understand the rules, the more options you have.

Start investing smarter.

You don't need a law degree. You need plain-English clarity on what changed, what it means for your money, and what to do next.
