With EOFY fast approaching, Ben is joined by BanTacs tax expert Julia Hartman and Couch Crew and Senior Empower Wealth Tax Advisor, Danish Ahmed to unpack the latest tax developments impacting property investors…  

This episode covers: 

  • ✅ The ATO’s newly-finalised holiday home rules and what the Red, Orange and Green Zones mean for investors 
  • ✅ What qualifies as a “new build” under the proposed negative gearing reforms — and where the loopholes and unanswered questions still exist 
  • ✅ How unused super contribution caps can create valuable tax planning opportunities before 30 June 
  • ✅ Why negative gearing hasn’t disappeared — it’s simply become a deferred tax benefit 
  • ✅ The biggest misconception investors have about property values, and why residential real estate behaves completely differently to shares and other asset classes 

Plus, Ben breaks down the concept of price discovery and explains why scarcity, emotion and owner-occupier demand remain the biggest drivers of long-term property performance. Listen now!
