📢 Property Investors: This One Small Step Could Potentially Save You Thousands
A recent realestate.com.au article has highlighted something many Australian property investors may not yet be aware of following the Federal Government’s proposed Capital Gains Tax changes.
According to investment adviser Rasti Vaibhav, investors who already own investment properties may want to consider obtaining an independent property valuation before the proposed July 2027 changeover date.
| Why? |
Because under the proposed system, future capital gains may be split between:
• growth before July 2027
• and growth after the new rules begin
The article suggests that without a formal valuation in place, future gains could potentially be calculated using a broader averaging method rather than the property’s actual market value at the time.
For many Tasmanian investors, especially across areas of the North West Coast that have experienced strong growth in recent years, this could potentially mean paying tax on gains that largely occurred years earlier.
The article even referenced scenarios where investors could potentially save tens of thousands in future tax calculations simply by having a registered valuation completed at the right time.
While every situation is different and this is not financial advice, it may be worthwhile speaking with your accountant or financial adviser sooner rather than later.
