π¨ @AustralianLabor βs insane new CGT changes just got crueller.
@JEChalmers confirmed today: if you jointly own a pre-budget investment property and your spouse dies or you divorce the survivor LOSES the grandfathered negative gearing and CGT exemptions.
Grief or separation isnβt enough. Now comes an extra tax hit.
@DavidPocock is moving amendments to stop this. Heβs right it will hit women especially hard.
This rushed, heartless policy is economic vandalism. The Senate must kill it. Great journalism @PhillipCoorey https://t.co/2HIknTFkGS
The Unholy Trinity of Indifference
https://t.co/DDcVap6KQh
Labors misconceived CGT changes have now achieved the Unholy Trinity of Indifference...
1. Testamentary trusts for the disabled and children taxed at 30%, that was only changed due to media attention and not because of a sudden bout of compassion.
2. Minimum 30% CGT irrespective of marginal tax rate which adversely affects the least well to do in society.
3. Loss of grandfathering if a spouse dies, which is the double whammy of death in the family plus a financial hit when you least need it.
Labor & Greens dribble about social conscience but they certainly don't walk the talk.
Welcome to the "Poor Get Poorer Tax"...
What would be useful to know is if you use the stamp duty exemption when transferring property between spouses whether or not that also removes the grandfathering.
@TMFScottP@EnergyWrapAU https://t.co/7v3EN7xgsJ QLD already has a sliding scale royalty which is higher for exports than for selling domestically. The marginal royalty rate is 12.5% for all export volumes sold above A$14/GJ.
@MarkOgge Dislike. You are illiterate and I have never seen anyone else In the media with a smaller understanding. Have you had a job outside your externally funded company
@I_Menelaus @AvidCommentator Yes maybe 10 years of historical data to be included. Would tell the same story as the cumulative impact of inflation over the last 5 years
@EnergyWrapAU Additionally Japan has an arbitrage opportunity by buying LNG through long term oil priced contracts and selling into JKM spot markets for a profit. Welcome to commodity trading 101. This is not always the case particularly if the spot price sinks below oil parity.
@Alex753429@DavidPocock The domestic price in Victoria is currently $11/GJ. Genuinely curious what data you are using. This is transparent market data from AEMO and Platts
