The recent budget reforms to CGT and negative gearing will pass parliament this week with a deal cut between Labor and the Greens in the senate.

The government has agreed as part of the deal to end an exemption for SMSF's to borrow money to invest in residential property.

So what does this mean for SMSF property investors?

There are no changes to the tax arrangements for superannuation and no impact on existing SMSF borrowing.

Australians will still be able to invest in property through their SMSF, but will not be able to borrow money to do so.

The Greens pledge their support in exchange for an end to an exemption that allows self-managed super funds to borrow money to invest in residential property, and a delay on the overhaul of the NDIS.

The Australian Government has proposed changes to Capital Gains and Negative Gearing Taxation in the recent Federal Budget.

The stated aim was to improve housing affordability and assist first-home buyers, but there are doubts that these changes will achieve that goal.

Removing the 10% GST on new residential construction would immediately lower home and apartment building costs, making housing and rentals more affordable while boosting supply.
