Here we go. An inheritance tax is coming.
Suddenly your parents don’t get to choose where their money goes, the government does.
A government that imports people and puts them on welfare, a government that refuses to investigate welfare fraud suddenly wants to reward your hard work at the beginning of a massive jobs decline due to AI jobs replacement.
Kick them to the curb. They are vampires sucking your money like blood.
@DrCameronMurray@urbanizationist I wouldn't be surprised if the government moved to cap withdrawals from industry and retail super funds as a way of managing liquidity risk, especially given the growing number of people entering retirement with substantial mortgage obligations.
@DrCameronMurray Agreed. The concern however is that when a CGT event occurs, the entire taxable gain is assessed at the marginal tax rate in a single year, even though the gains have accrued progressively over multiple years. It doesn’t seem equitable to tax all of those gains in one income year
@Poundy90@AvidCommentator Countries where rent systems typically regulate both new rents and existing rents, at least in significant parts of the market:
Germany
Sweden
Netherlands
France
Spain
Denmark
US (select cities like New York)
Any form of rent control in OZ would be political suicide IMO
