In this episode of Investing for Doctors, Dr. Bi cuts through the political noise to explain exactly what changed in the 2026 Federal Budget and what it means for your financial future as a property investor. We unpack the end of the 50% capital gains tax discount, the move to cost-based indexation, the new 30% minimum tax on gains, and what the restriction of negative gearing on established properties really means in practice.

We explore who these changes affect, what has been grandfathered, why new builds are now the preferred vehicle for property investors, and how company structures may become the new default for serious investors. Most importantly, we run the actual numbers to show whether these changes are as damaging as the headlines suggest.

This episode is a clear, rational, numbers-driven analysis of what has changed, who it hits hardest, and what smart investors should be doing right now.
