Significant changes to CGT have been announced as part of the 2026 Federal Budget, with important implications for investors, business owners and trustees.

Join Brett Young, National Tax Director, for a practical overview of the proposed reforms and what they could mean for you.

What we’ll cover

  • From 1 July 2027:
    • The proposed replacement of the 50% CGT discount with cost base indexation
    • The introduction of a proposed 30% minimum tax on capital gains
    • Changes to the small business CGT concessions
  • Transitional arrangements for existing assets
  • The impact on property investments, share portfolios and trust structures
  • Key considerations and practical steps ahead of the proposed commencement date

This session will provide a high-level overview of the proposed reforms and their potential implications.

A follow-up webinar is expected later in August 2026 to explore some of the more complex aspects of the proposed regime in greater detail.

We encourage you to submit questions through the registration form ahead of the webinar. Brett will address as many as possible during the session.

Who should attend our live webinar?

Investors, business owners, and advisers seeking clarity on the new rules and how to navigate them effectively.
