July 23
21 mins

Episode Description

For a generation, Australian investors were advised to hold their investments until they retired. Then once they entered tax-free retirement, they could largely sidestep CGT tax. This central plank of financial advice is finished: Every retiree will now pay a minimum 30 per cent tax and nobody will escape.

Dr Adrian Raftery, author of '101 ways to save money on your tax - legally' joins Associate Editor, James Kirby in this episode.

In today's show, we cover:

  • The shock change to investor retirement benefits
  • How the CGT new minimum rate is the sleeper issue for long-term investors
  • Examining how tax planning must reflect the wider budget changes
  • My shares have gone to zero - can I claim a tax loss?
