Budget Changed The Rules. Property Still Wins.
The 2026 Budget scrapped the 50% CGT discount and reined in negative gearing — but don't write off real estate. Established property remains a strong long-term investment play, and held inside super it's stronger still.
- Established property — ~7–9% p.a. long-run, plus rent and leverage shares can't match.
- New builds — keep full negative gearing and the 50% CGT discount.
- Property in super (SMSF) — fully exempt from the changes. Keeps the discount for an effective CGT rate near 10% — the most tax-efficient structure post-Budget.
- ASX 200 — similar returns, but no rent and more volatility.
- Gold & silver — useful hedges, but zero yield and no tax-deductible costs.
