@LCHF_Matt Put a claim in but ask for a cash settlement instead. Panel beater will charge several k.
Insurer pays you repair cost in cash, less the excess, daughter left with extra cash in her hands and just leave the damage on the car
Can always fix it down the track with own savings
Putting aside negative gearing abolishment and removal of CGT discount, WHY a minimum 30% tax on Capital Gains?
Anyone earning less than 200k will now pay more in CGT then if simply taxed at their personal income.
Sell some stocks? Pay more
Sell crypto? Pay more
@TonyMemandqvy@OnSpeculator You get taxed on the sale of the asset? A minimum of 30% which is crazy. Those who earn 200k per annum pay an average tax rate of 30% on their income so anyone earning less than 200k will now pay more CGT
A property can be cashflow positive/neutral and still be negative geared.
As negative gearing is now abolished, investors will look to increase rent to get to at least break even cashflow.
Losses will carry forward into future years so its a temporary pain faced by investors
@Potstirrer111@RestoreAussies No, negative gearing also includes depreciation on the property - a paper loss. This is usually what makes a property negatively geared. So it doesnt take as much for it be be cashflow neutral
@agroasx Supply issues have stemmed from cost of building new being outrageous. Materials costs aren't changing, Labour costs are only increasing, so the core issue of housing supply is NOT getting solved
@aaronsmith Investors will either just hold for longer to try ride or the government, or buy commercial property where negative gearing isn't changing at all
@ClareONeilMP Solve the supply problem, not the tax system.
Now, anyone earning less than 200k per year will pay more in CGT then if taxed at their personal income level. Insane.
@AlboMP Under these changes anyone earning less than 200k per year will now pay more for ANY capital gains event. Shares, property, crypto, etc etc.
Rather than solve core issues, all this does is stimulate conversation and gives you media attention
@Ben_Davison1 I thought they were doing this to make the property market more accessible for first home buyers? Make up your mind.
Ps it will achieve neither
