In this episode of the Propertybuyer Podcast, we unpack one of the biggest proposed shake-ups to Australian property taxation in decades — and what it could mean for investors, homeowners, renters, and the broader housing market.
Host talks with John Kalachian, Partner and co-founder of Fortis Accounting Partners, to break down the Federal Budget’s controversial changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, and property investment incentives. From the return of CGT indexation to the new-build-only negative gearing model, this conversation explores whether Australia is witnessing a generational rewrite of the property investment playbook.
Together, they discuss:
How the proposed tax reforms could reshape investor behaviour
The impact on rental supply, affordability, and first home buyers
What existing investors should consider doing now
Whether “mum and dad investors” are really the ones affected most
Lessons from New Zealand’s failed negative gearing experiment
How trust structures, SMSFs, and share portfolios may be impacted
The political uncertainty surrounding future property policy
John also shares practical insights for investors navigating an increasingly complex landscape, plus his best-ever piece of investment advice.
If you own property, plan to invest, or simply want to understand where Australia’s housing market could be heading next, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
