@linzcom@AvidCommentator But that is not grandfathering. You can do that with any property bought after budget. For example, I can buy an existing residential property on 1 July 2027 and then borrow against it to buy shares. And the interest is fully deductible.
@linzcom So you can negatively gear any investment purchased after budget date going forward except existing residential. It doesn’t matter what security is used to fund the borrowing.
@linzcom Yes. But as you say in your flow chart, if the funds are used to purchase an existing residential property, the losses on that property (including interest) are quarantined.
@Tradermayne He’s not evading tax as there was no tax anyway if he sold in Australia. Jerz later revealed important fact that crypto holder was a temporary resident, not an Aussie citizen, and wouldn’t have paid any CGT. He didn’t need to move overseas.
@taipan168 Income Tax Rates Act 1986 (Cth) sch 7 cl 2, which prescribes the averaging mechanism applicable where a taxpayer’s taxable income includes a “special income component” says it is correct.
@taipan168 But only on the portion above $190k, which is only a very small part of the gain. Average tax rate on $200k income is 28%, which is the rate the whole gain would be taxed at.
@GeoffWilsonWAM@mrr78504 If you are talking about a business, then small business CGT concessions could currently, and probably could still under the changes, reduce the tax to zero.
