he July 2027 CGT Deadline You Need to Know! ⏳

Australian expats, take note: property gains before and after 1 July 2027 may not be taxed the same way!

If you are holding property from overseas, it is not just about how much your property grew, but when the gain happened:

Before 1 July 2027: The current reform protects these gains.

After 1 July 2027: Gains may fall under a completely different indexation-based model.

Don't get caught off guard. We are running a FREE webinar to walk you through exactly what this means for your offshore property.

Your current properties are NOT grandfathered into the 2027 tax rules!

Think your existing property portfolio is safe from the new 2027 CGT rules? Think again. Here is the massive catch:

Starting 1st July 2027, a "testing period" begins for the new indexation discount.

If you are an expat or tax non-resident at any point between July 2027 and the day you sell, you lose the discount entirely!

This applies to ALL your previously bought properties—nothing is grandfathered.

Are you an Aussie resident or an expat planning to return home? You need to understand how this impacts your profits.

$202,500 — held back at settlement before your actual tax is even worked out.

That's foreign resident capital gains withholding: 15% of the gross sale price on a $1.35M sale, unless a variation is applied for ahead of settlement.

And it's rarely the only thing in play. Most expats we speak to don't have one big problem — they have three or four smaller ones that interact: residency at the time of sale, the property's own history, and how it's held. The order you deal with them in changes the outcome.

If you are an Aussie in Singapore with property back home, this one is a short cab ride.

Monday 14 September, 1 Raffles Place. Three specialists, one evening, on the decision most expats are currently making with only half the information.

What the new Budget rules change from 1 July 2027, and what stays protected if you bought before 12 May 2026. How the ATO's residency tests shape what you report and whether the main residence exemption may apply when you sell. And where the Australian market fundamentals actually look strongest heading into next year.

Pau Lam on tax. Ian Black of TallRock Capital on pensions and planning. Steven Lee on expat lending. Q&A at 8:00 and open networking until 9:00, so you can ask the question you have not been able to get answered anywhere else.

You can probably picture them right now.

The mate who left in 2019 and has not lodged since. The couple weighing up whether to sell the place back home. The colleague who just landed and has not thought about it yet.

None of them are being careless. They are just waiting for someone to tell them which part matters. Two that do: going quiet after leaving does not close the file, and selling the old family home while still a non-resident can cost the main residence exemption on the whole gain.

If you send them our way, they get $250 off their first ODIN Tax invoice and you get $250 off yours once they sign up and pay. Up to three referrals a year. Credit on your invoice, not cash, valid 12 months. Program runs to 31 December 2026.

Living overseas? Your Aussie property numbers are probably wrong!

If you bought near the peak and moved abroad, your property's value and loan balance have both shifted—meaning your Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) isn't what you think it is.

Your LVR impacts EVERYTHING:
- Your refinancing power
- How much equity you can pull out
- How lenders view your overall risk
- Stop guessing your position before you apply!

How the 2027 Tax Rules Affect Your Existing Properties

If you already own investment property and are wondering how the upcoming Capital Gains Tax (CGT) rules impact you, the key is understanding the new "split calculation".

Here is exactly how your existing properties will be assessed moving forward:

The gains on your property from the time you bought it up until 1st July 2027 will still be subject to the traditional 50% discount, provided you were an Australian resident during that time.

If you have moved in and out of Australia, you generally receive a pro-rata portion of the 50% discount based on the specific years you were a tax resident versus a non-resident.

For your existing properties, the capital gains calculation will essentially be split in half to separate the periods before and after July 2027.

If you move overseas (for example, to Hong Kong) and become a tax non-resident anytime from 1st July 2027, the indexation on the gains from that date onwards will be lost.

There are now two clocks running on your Australian property. Most expats are only watching one.

The first is residency. Sell while you are a non-resident and the main residence exemption can be lost on the entire gain, not just the years you were away. In one of our worked examples that was the difference between roughly $101,000 in CGT and potentially nothing, on the same property at the same price.

The second clock started with the Budget reforms, now law. From 1 July 2027 the 50% CGT discount gives way to CPI indexation plus a 30% minimum tax on real gains. Gains accrued before that date keep the old method whenever you sell, so this is not a reason to rush a sale. It is a reason to know which side of the date each part of your gain sits on.

Where the two clocks intersect is coming home. A returning resident could previously claim a pro-rata discount for the years back in Australia. That is going. Long-term non-residents are affected far less.

We are walking through the order of operations live.

Four questions. About two minutes. Three answers most Aussie expats are currently guessing at.

We're launching the Expat Tax Estimator this week, and this is what comes out the other end.

Where you sit on CGT risk, and which gaps are driving it. Non-residents haven't had access to the 50% discount on gains accrued since 8 May 2012, and years spent overseas can shrink any discount you'd get by selling after you return. Most people don't know which of those applies to them.

What a sale looks like under the current rules next to the rules from 1 July 2027.

What holding the property actually costs you week to week, and what carries forward as a tax loss.

The numbers in these slides are a fictitious sample, not a forecast.
