Welcome to the one hundred and seventy eightieth episode of the #Expatchat podcast where we discuss the latest tax and financial issues affecting an #Australianexpat. Managing Directors, Brett Evans and James Ridley unpack the latest developments from the Australian Federal Budget, following the passage of key CGT and negative gearing reforms through the lower house by a 92–48 vote on Thursday.
They explore what the proposed changes could mean for Australian expats and non-residents, including the introduction of a cost base indexation method from 1 July 2027, resulting in a minimum 30% tax on capital gains and the removal of additional discounting strategies. The episode also highlights the next stage of the legislative process, with Senate debate expected to follow after limited parliamentary scrutiny.
Despite the uncertainty, Brett and James discuss where tax-efficient opportunities may still exist, including superannuation and share investments, and caution against making major financial decisions until further legislative detail is released later in the year.
