Could Investors Pay Less CGT Under the New Tax Rules?

Australia’s proposed negative gearing and capital gains tax changes could completely change how property investors compare new builds vs established properties, but the real story is not what most headlines are saying. In this episode, Michael is joined by Josh to model the numbers, break down the tax impact, and reveal why chasing depreciation benefits may not be the smartest strategy. They also show why “lazy investing is dead” — and why investors need better data, stronger yield strategies, and sharper asset selection moving forward. If you’re a property investor trying to understand the proposed tax changes, new build incentives, negative gearing, CGT, or how to build wealth in the next market cycle, this episode is a must-watch. –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Chapters: 1:08 — Proposed Tax Changes — Negative Gearing, CGT & Investor Panic 7:49 — $800K Property Model — Existing vs New Build Under New Rules 14:18 — Yield Strategy Shift — Granny Flats, Duplexes & Rent Boosts 16:09 — New CGT Model Explained — Inflation, Indexation & Real Gains 17:07 — $800K Example — How Outperformance Changes the Profit 21:37 — Old Rules vs New Rules — Could Investors Pay Less CGT? 32:03 — Lazy Investing Is Dead — Why Data-Driven Investing Wins –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Get in touch today: https://linktr.ee/pinnaclebuyersagents Watch more episodes: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLurnyIhu_VwV2KSGhiFNFhDjux2d0MWVc #PBA #PropertyBanter #MichaelLežaja #BorrowingCapacity #PropertyInvesting #BuyersAgent #RealEstateAustralia #WealthBuilding #EquityGrowth #InvestSmart Disclaimer: The information provided in this content is general in nature and should not be considered as personal financial advice.
