Family trust and the 2026 budget — let me clear up the biggest misconception first.
Trusts never allowed negative gearing against personal salary. Losses always stayed in the trust. That hasn't changed.
What has changed:
• CGT discount streaming strategy — removed. 30% minimum tax on capital gains from 1 July 2027.
• Income splitting on rental distributions — curtailed from 1 July 2028 by 30% minimum trust tax.
What remains: asset protection and a 3-year rollover relief window to restructure if needed.
If your trust strategy was built on advice from before 2026 — it's time for a fresh conversation.
