⚡ Electric vehicle tax concessions are set to change under the proposed Federal Budget measures.

The Government has announced plans to gradually reduce the current Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) exemptions available on some electric vehicles provided through novated lease arrangements.

Under the proposed changes:
🚗 Full concessions may only continue for EVs under $75,000 from 1 April 2027
🚗 Higher-priced EVs may receive reduced tax benefits
🚗 Existing arrangements may also be affected in some cases

If you currently have an EV under a novated lease, or are considering one in the future, now may be a good time to review the potential impact of these proposed changes.

Please contact the team at AMCP if you would like to discuss your situation.

🏠 Proposed negative gearing changes were another major announcement from the Federal Budget.

While existing investment properties are expected to remain protected, the rules for future property purchases may change significantly from 1 July 2027.

Under the proposed changes:
📌 Rental losses on some future property purchases may no longer reduce salary income
📌 Newly built properties are expected to retain full negative gearing benefits
📌 Investment property decisions may become more complex moving forward

These proposed changes, together with the new Capital Gains Tax measures, could have a significant impact on future property investment strategies.

If you are considering purchasing an investment property or would like to understand how the proposed changes may affect you, please contact the AMCP team.

A very successful morning fuelled by coffee, cookies, and a great cause 💛

📈 One of the biggest announcements from last week’s Federal Budget was the proposed change to Capital Gains Tax (CGT).

From 1 July 2027, the current 50% CGT discount may be replaced with a new indexed system for future capital gains.

These proposed changes could affect:
🏠 Property investors
📊 Share investors
🏢 Business owners
👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family trusts

While the legislation has not yet been finalised, the changes may have a significant impact on future investment and business sale decisions.

If you are considering selling assets, restructuring, or making future investment decisions, now is a good time to start reviewing your position.

The team at AMCP is closely monitoring the proposed changes and is available to discuss how they may affect your situation.

Own property across multiple companies or entities?

You might assume they’re all treated separately for land tax… but that’s not always the case.

In some situations, properties can be grouped together, which may impact:
• Your land tax threshold
• The amount of tax payable

It’s something that can easily be overlooked, especially where different entities are involved.

If you’re unsure how this might apply to you, feel free to reach out to our team.

This could include things like:
🚗 Company cars used privately

Not all benefits are taxable — but it’s important to review your position so nothing is missed.

✅ Now’s the time to:
