Been arguing this similar line for months. Why should a nurse earning $100k get taxed at 28% but an investor earning the same income from capital gains pay a tax rate of 7%. Same income $20k less in tax for the investor with >$500k in investments. Tell me why it is fair.
The money invested had already been taxed prior to any capital gains being made.
The money in Super was taxed on the way in at 15%. (Governments already looking to tax more on the way out)
The problem is high spending Governments need to extract ever increasing amounts of wealth from people to buy votes
The government is tying itself in knots trying to explain the CGT changes.
But @spenderallegra did it for them *months* ago.
This is the line they should be using:

Sorry I may be mistake
Seems like alot is being taken out and put in self managed funds.
All very interesting
You aren't "paying" anything.
It is no different to you claiming work expenses on tax and not paying tax on that amount.
No one is being given money, just keeping more of their own
And this goes far beyond housing
I could understand housing but Labor took the public good will and has massively exploited it to tax everything more
@DanielDayJewish@IFM_Economist To reduce mortgages.
Taking a lump sum out of an investment portfolio to place it into another, higher taxed, investment portfolio doesn't make sense
Indiaโs growth momentum remains strong!
GDP growth rate of 7.7% in FY 2025-26 and 7.8% in Q4 of FY 2025-26 reflect the inherent strength of our economy, the success of reforms and the hard work of 140 crore Indians.
We shall leave no stone unturned to further โEase of Living,โ โEase of Doing Businessโ and increase opportunities for our youth.
Any chance you lot could one day be on the side of decent British people against far right Americans who have nothing better to do than spread hate and division around the world? Or is this what Rupert wants?
@RobToThheOz Because the money used to invest was already taxed when it was earned.
Just because someone doesn't waste their money doesn't meant you get to steal it to fund your wasteful life
@blowingtom2@theyareaverage They work on commission
They have doubled their $$ through no effort of their own
But people will still use them instead of creatinga new better way
