SPECIAL BUDGET EDITION!!
There were high expectations surrounding Tuesday nights Federal Budget. But did
all the hype live up to expectations? This month, we’re going to look at how some
of the Budget’s policies will impact the property and small business sector.
For more information visit http://budget.gov.au/2017-18/content/glossies/heets.htm
Investors
 From 1 July 2017 investors in residential real estate will
be limited in the deductions claimed for plant and
equipment depreciation.
 Investors who purchase new plant and equipment
will still be able to claim depreciation deductions.
 Subsequent owners of plant and equipment,
including those assets bought by previous owners
of a property, will NOT be able to claim deductions.’
 The new laws don’t apply to properties exchanged/
purchased prior to 7.30pm AEST 9 May 2017.
 From 1 July 2017, investors will not be allowed to make
deductions for travel expenses related to
inspecting, maintaining or collecting rent
for a residential rental property.
 This will not affect deductions for
investor expenses incurred in
engaging third party property
managers.
Downsizers
 Australians aged 65 and over have been given an
incentive to downsize.
 Downsizers who sell their home from 1 July 2018 can
make a non-concessional contribution of up to
$300,000 each into their superannuation accounts.
 The home must have been owned for 10+ years.
 A couple can take advantage of the scheme, by
making a combined $600,000 non-deductible
contribution to their superannuation which will be
exempt from the age, work and $1.6million retirement
balance tests.
First Home Buyers
 First home buyers will be given the
opportunity to put aside up to $15,000
per year, for a maximum of 2 years, into
their superannuation, from 1 July 2017.
 The money saved under the scheme can be withdrawn
for a home deposit at a later date, from 1 July 2018.
 Money put into superannuation accounts under the
scheme will be taxed at reduced rates:
 15% when contribution is made
 Marginal tax rate less 30%
when money is withdrawn.
While it may not have been quite
the scheme that first home buyers
were wanting or expecting, it is a
step in the right direction for many.
Foreign Buyers
 No Vacancy — taking effect immediately, foreigners
who own residential real estate and keep the property
vacant for more than 6 months, in any given year, will
be charged a vacancy tax.
 50% cap — not more than 50% of new developments
can be sold to foreign buyers.
 Capital Gains Tax — the CGT withholding tax rate for
foreigners has increased from 10% to 12.5% and the
CGT withholding threshold has been reduced from
$2million to $750,000. Foreign residents will also be
denied access to CGT exemptions effective
immediately but does not apply to existing contracts.
Small Business
 Measures introduced in the 2015-16
Budget which allowed businesses
with an aggregate annual turnover of
less than $10million to claim
deductions for eligible assets worth
less than $20,000 have been
extended for 1 more year.
 It is hoped that this will improve
cash flow for small businesses and
provide a boost to small business
activity and investment.

But did all the hype live up to expectations? This month, we’re going to look at how some of the Budget’s policies will impact the property and small business sector. For more information visit http://budget.gov.au/2017-18/content/glossies/heets.htm Investors  From 1 July 2017 investors in residential real estate will be limited in the deductions claimed for plant and equipment depreciation.  Investors who purchase new plant and equipment will still be able to claim depreciation deductions.  Subsequent owners of plant and equipment, including those assets bought by previous owners of a property, will NOT be able to claim deductions.’  The new laws don’t apply to properties exchanged/ purchased prior to 7.30pm AEST 9 May 2017.  From 1 July 2017, investors will not be allowed to make deductions for travel expenses related to inspecting, maintaining or collecting rent for a residential rental property.  This will not affect deductions for investor expenses incurred in engaging third party property managers. Downsizers  Australians aged 65 and over have been given an incentive to downsize.  Downsizers who sell their home from 1 July 2018 can make a non-concessional contribution of up to $300,000 each into their superannuation accounts.  The home must have been owned for 10+ years.  A couple can take advantage of the scheme, by making a combined $600,000 non-deductible contribution to their superannuation which will be exempt from the age, work and $1.6million retirement balance tests. First Home Buyers  First home buyers will be given the opportunity to put aside up to $15,000 per year, for a maximum of 2 years, into their superannuation, from 1 July 2017.  The money saved under the scheme can be withdrawn for a home deposit at a later date, from 1 July 2018.  Money put into superannuation accounts under the scheme will be taxed at reduced rates:  15% when contribution is made  Marginal tax rate less 30% when money is withdrawn. While it may not have been quite the scheme that first home buyers were wanting or expecting, it is a step in the right direction for many. Foreign Buyers  No Vacancy — taking effect immediately, foreigners who own residential real estate and keep the property vacant for more than 6 months, in any given year, will be charged a vacancy tax.  50% cap — not more than 50% of new developments can be sold to foreign buyers.  Capital Gains Tax — the CGT withholding tax rate for foreigners has increased from 10% to 12.5% and the CGT withholding threshold has been reduced from $2million to $750,000. Foreign residents will also be denied access to CGT exemptions effective immediately but does not apply to existing contracts. Small Business  Measures introduced in the 2015-16 Budget which allowed businesses with an aggregate annual turnover of less than $10million to claim deductions for eligible assets worth less than $20,000 have been extended for 1 more year.  It is hoped that this will improve cash flow for small businesses and provide a boost to small business activity and investment.
