Budget property tax reforms could create a two-speed market for Australian property investors

The Federal Budget’s proposed changes to negative gearing and capital gains tax could reshape how Australian property investors assess future purchases. While the reforms are designed to improve housing affordability and encourage investment into new supply, they may also create a two-speed market. Existing landlords may retain their current tax settings, while new investors buying established properties face a different cash-flow equation from 1 July 2027. Futurerent CEO Godfrey Dinh shares why the changes could influence investor behaviour, rental supply and cash-flow planning and why investors should focus on the numbers before making their next move.
