405 | Why the Great Australian Renter’s Tax is Everyone’s Problem!?

Note: This recording was produced before Queensland’s Land Tax was scrapped.

Folks — full disclosure — today’s episode was NOT originally in the plan.

It is, however, an issue that is so insanely important that we switched things up…

Today you won’t be listening to Bryce & Ben of The Property Couch.

Today you’ll be listening to Bryce interviewing Ben Kingsley as the Chair of the Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PICA) on Australia’s greatest renter’s tax ever introduced.

We’re talking about Queensland’s New Land Tax.  

Here’s the deal…we’ll be examining what this means for renters and property owners across Australia, the repercussions yet to come and covering what is at stake for Queensland’s future.   

As Ben says, “there are no winners here.”   

At the heart of today’s show is the issue of government intervention and the rising rents left in its wake…   

We’re breaking down who the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) are and taking a frank look at the unintended consequences that many of its reforms have had over the past decade. 

 

Strap in folks, this is an important episode that affects us all.   

 

P.S. And if you find this as disturbing as we do, you can make a positive change.  

The Property Investment Professionals of Australia (PIPA) is currently running its 2022 Sentiment Survey which allows everyday folks to have their thoughts heard on issues such as Queensland’s Land Tax.
