We Ran the Maths on CGT Changes... Here's What We Found

from The Investor Lab · host Dashdot

The CGT discount conversation is back in the headlines. Investors are starting to ask whether the whole thesis still holds. Some are even getting cold feet. This week, we're sitting down to work through it honestly. We walk through the history of how CGT got to where it is, what's actually being proposed for the May budget, and what the numbers really show when you run them across every scenario.  We get into why the leverage available to a property investor changes the maths in ways most of the commentary completely misses, why the reform might actually push rents and prices up rather than down, and whether any of it even solves the affordability problem the government says it's trying to fix. Not a hot take. Just an honest look at what the maths says. If you're trying to think clearly about the CGT debate before the May budget, this is the conversation. * Read Goose's full report: tools.dashdot.com.au/cgtanalysis* Get The Signal (weekly macro intelligence for property investors): dashdot.com.au/thesignal See you on the inside. --IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
