The 2026 Federal Budget has introduced sweeping Capital Gains Tax (CGT) reforms – the biggest in decades. Replacing the 50% CGT discount with inflation-based cost base indexation and adding a 30% minimum tax on real gains from 1 July 2027 will significantly affect property investors, homeowners, and SMSF trustees across New South Wales.
Property Valuations NSW emerges as the best and most cost-effective provider of CGT valuations across Newcastle, the Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Lake Macquarie, and greater NSW. Our team of experienced Certified Practising Valuers delivers fast, reliable, ATO-compliant reports that help clients navigate these reforms while keeping costs low and accuracy high.
Why the 2026 Budget Makes Expert CGT Valuations Critical
The changes include transitional rules for assets spanning 1 July 2027. Professional valuations will be essential to establish market value on that date for apportioning pre- and post-reform gains. Inaccurate or DIY estimates risk ATO audits, penalties, or higher tax liabilities under the new indexation and minimum tax rules.
