Australia's 50% capital gains tax discount faces reform push to boost housing affordability and equity.
Australia’s 50% capital gains tax discount on assets held over 12 months is under renewed scrutiny, with Labor and the Greens pushing reforms to address inequality and housing affordability.
A Senate committee, established in November 2025, is examining the policy’s impact, as both parties consider reducing the discount to 25% or eliminating it for investment properties beyond a primary residence, while supporting grandfathering to avoid market disruption.
Critics argue that rising house prices stem more from immigration, supply constraints, and government incentives than investor activity.
The debate centers on whether reducing investment incentives would improve fairness or worsen housing shortages, with potential tax rate increases from 23.5% to 35.25% if reforms pass.
