These examples show the type of questions we expect to answer publicly. New questions will be reviewed before publication.
Does this only affect investors?
Not necessarily. Owner-occupiers may still need to understand the reform if a home later becomes a rental, is transferred, inherited, held in a trust or used partly for income-producing purposes.
Read the affected-owner guideDoes the valuation report need to be dated 1 July 2027?
The key education issue is whether the evidence can support market value at the reform boundary. Timing, inspection date, records and professional scope all matter.
Read why the date mattersAre SMSF owners affected in the same way?
SMSF property has separate annual valuation and audit evidence considerations. CGT reform questions and SMSF annual evidence questions should be treated separately.
Compare SMSF and normal ownersWhich valuation pathway should I compare?
A low-cost estimate, desktop assessment, signed report and senior advisory engagement are different pathways. Compare scope before comparing price.
