Tax Reform: What’s Settled, What Isn’t, and What Not to Rush

If you run a construction or trade business, you have probably been told the tax changes could force you to restructure.

Some are now law. Several, including the proposed family trust changes, are still only announcements. Acting too early on what isn’t settled can cost you real money fixing a problem that doesn’t yet exist.

This session separates what has passed from what is still being designed, and shows what each change means for a construction business using worked examples, not theory. We will cover the three that matter most: capital gains tax, negative gearing, and the proposed discretionary trust changes, plus the parts specific to construction, like where your trust sits when you hold a QBCC licence and the stamp duty trap that catches owners who move too early.

You will leave knowing what applies to you now, what does not, and what is worth waiting for.

What you will learn

• Which changes are law and which are still only proposed, and why that distinction protects you
• How the capital gains tax change works from 1 July 2027, and what it means for property you already hold
• What the negative gearing restriction covers, what is grandfathered, and the angle worth watching for builders
• How the proposed discretionary trust tax would hit income splitting and bucket companies, and what is still unknown
• Why moving assets early to get ahead of the trust measure can trigger a large stamp duty cost you never get back
• The sensible steps to take now, before any draft legislation lands

Who it is for

Construction business owners and directors: builders, trade contractors and supply chain businesses who use a trust or are weighing up a property or restructuring decision. If you have heard the changes might affect you and want a clear read before you act, this is for you.

Save your spot. Bring your questions. We will tell you plainly what applies to you and what is worth waiting for.
