Summary
"2026 Tax Reform: What Landlords Should Know About Family Trusts, Negative Gearing and CGT"
Key Points
Why it matters: Negative gearing, CGT, Family Trust structures and investment property holding costs are long-term concerns for property investors and landlords.
Several groups discussed APOA’s upcoming community seminar on the 2026-27 federal budget, negative gearing and CGT reform. Members were particularly interested in how the proposed changes may affect property investors, Family Trust structures, holding costs and future asset allocation. This topic is suitable for APOA’s Tax Reform Centre and should be developed into articles and FAQs, with a reminder that landlords should seek advice from registered tax agents or accountants before making tax or ownership-structure decisions.
