Federal Budget 2026: Changing the way Australians invest [jgfnrYGulKI]
The 2026 Federal Budget has just dropped… and from an investor perspective, this is one of the biggest proposed tax shake-ups Australia has seen in decades. In this video, I break down the major proposed changes in plain English and explain what they could mean for investors, property owners, business owners and higher income earners moving forward. We cover: • Changes to the 50% Capital Gains Tax (CGT) discount • The proposed move back to inflation indexation • The proposed minimum 30% tax on capital gains • Negative gearing changes for residential property • Grandfathering rules and new build concessions • Proposed family trust tax changes • Bucket company strategies under attack • Why company structures may become more attractive • What this could mean for long-term wealth creation in Australia We also discuss some of the positives announced in the Budget, including: • The new $250 worker tax offset • The proposed $1,000 instant deduction for work expenses • Permanent $20,000 instant asset write-offs for small business • No new superannuation changes announced in this Budget Importantly, many of these measures are still proposals and will require legislation before becoming law. If these changes go through broadly as proposed, they could fundamentally change how Australians invest, structure assets and build wealth moving forward.
