Changes are coming to EV tax incentives.

From 1 April 2027, the Government will begin phasing out the current FBT exemption for electric vehicles, reducing the tax benefits available for future EV purchases and novated leases.

The transition will occur in stages, giving businesses and employees time to prepare. Understanding the timeline will be key to making informed vehicle and salary packaging decisions.

Now is the time to review your plans and assess how the changes could impact you.

Debit and credit card surcharges end 1 October.

Is your business ready? Australians currently pay around $1.6 billion in card surcharges every year. From 1 October, those fees will disappear for customers, bringing simpler pricing and fewer compliance requirements for businesses.

The good news? Lower payment-processing costs and a smoother customer experience.

The challenge? Business owners will need to review their pricing strategies now to ensure margins remain protected when surcharge revenue disappears.

Property and wealth investors are firmly in the recent Federal Budget's firing line.

The Government is proposing changes to CGT concessions and limiting negative gearing to newly built properties only, while existing investments would be grandfathered.

Increased ATO compliance funding also means tighter scrutiny on property deductions, capital gains and reporting obligations.

This year’s Federal Budget delivers some cash flow relief alongside increased accountability for Australian businesses.

The plus-side measures include permanent instant asset write-offs, the return of loss carry-back, energy rebates, and targeted industry investment.

Meanwhile, with additional funding allocated to the ATO, businesses can expect tighter scrutiny around tax reporting and compliance obligations.

Supporters say it could help more young Australians break into the property market. Critics are calling it a high-spending tax grab that breaks key election promises.
