If you own or are thinking about an investment property, the May 2026 Federal Budget has proposed some big changes.

From 1 July 2027, the Budget would:

1. Remove the 50 per cent capital gains tax discount, replacing it with inflation indexation and a 30 per cent minimum tax rate on net gains.

We have broken down the details, plus three new-build duplexes that sit inside the protected category:
