Australia's 2026-27 Federal Budget introduced a broad tax reform package aimed at shifting more tax relief toward workers and small businesses, while reducing some tax advantages connected to asset income, property investment, and trust structures.
The main measures include a new Working Australians Tax Offset, a $1,000 instant tax deduction, a permanent $20,000 instant asset write-off for small businesses, the return of loss carry back, changes to negative gearing, capital gains tax, discretionary trusts, R&D tax incentives, and venture capital incentives. These measures were announced in the Budget released on 12 May 2026, but many still require legislation before they become final law. [1]
