  • New CGT and Negative Gearing Changes Are Now Law: Who Is Affected and When?

Australia’s new Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and negative gearing reforms have now become law, bringing significant changes for property investors and future buyers.

In this episode of Money Matters, SBS Hindi’s Swati Sharma speaks with tax expert Nitin Saby, known as the Tax Surgeon, to explain what the new legislation means, who is affected, and when the changes will apply.

The discussion covers the end of the 50% CGT discount from 2027, the 12 May 2026 grandfathering rules, changes to negative gearing for established and newly built properties, and the latest tax relief measures for Australian workers, including the new $1,000 Instant Work Deduction and the $250 Working Australian Tax Offset.
