Proposed CGT Discount Changes: What Investors Need to Know (And What It Means for Property Prices)
Episode Description
There's been a lot of noise over the last few days around proposed changes to capital gains tax, specifically the CGT discount that investors get when they sell a property they've held for more than 12 months.
Headlines are flying, the WhatsApp groups are lighting up, and I've already had messages asking, should I sell now? Is property about to be smashed? Is this the end of investing as we know it? So today, let's slow this right down.
In this episode, I want to cover five things: Firstly, what the CGT discount is now and what's actually been proposed. Number two, what needs to happen for these changes to actually become law. Three, how this could change investor behavior and strategy. Four, what this might do to the property market, prices, supply and rent. And finally, whether this really raises government revenue or just reshuffles the deck.
By the end of this episode, you should be far clearer and hopefully a lot calmer.
