In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr Bi breaks down one of the most emotionally charged and economically important topics in Australia today, the cost of housing. We unpack whether Australian property is expensive purely because of supply and demand, or whether our tax settings have played a major role in shaping the market we see today.
We explore how capital gains tax actually works, why the 1999 reforms changed investor behaviour, what the 50% CGT discount really means in practice, and how negative gearing allows property losses to offset high income. Most importantly, we examine how these two policies interact to create powerful incentives for leveraged property investing and long-term capital growth.
This episode is a structural, system-level discussion, not a moral debate about landlords versus renters. It is a clear, rational analysis of the incentives embedded in Australia’s tax framework, who benefits most from them, and whether those incentives may have contributed to housing affordability challenges facing younger Australians today.
