Starting May 2026, investors can no longer use losses from new residential property purchases to lower their income tax. This is a big change from the old rules that allowed these deductions to help lower yearly tax bills.

'Anyone who currently owns an investment property will be able to continue to negatively gear it or, put another way, have the taxpayer subsidise them for their loss...you can only do it if you are making a loss. So you have to be prepared to make a loss, which the taxpayer will then subsidise'

I note the #Albanese Government has finally done something about #NegativeGearing and the #CapitalGainsTax in the Budget.

It is only four years late for this mob and it should never have been made in the first place by John Howard’s Government. But as @amyremeikis.bsky.social points out in her excellent book, everything that is wrong with Australia started under the Howard Government.

The Negative Gearing change ‘grandfathers’ (ie, does not apply to) people with existing properties … that would be nearly every politician in the Federal Parliament.

I’ll write that again … the changes to negative gearing do not apply to nearly every single politician in the Federal Parliament.
