ABC Business Daily · Tax Week: Changes slated for your shares · 1 Jul 2026 podcast

But I think it's important to remember that so many mum and dad investors in Australia own direct shares as well.

And this is going to change what money they make on shares, essentially.

So this is really important for people, anyone who owns shares outside of super.

direct shares, it's important to understand how this is going to change for you.

But one important key date, I guess, to remember is the 1st of July, 2027, because that's when these changes will come into effect.

So it won't affect any tax returns or capital gains you're doing for this financial year.

So I think overall, we've got to understand the old system, which is where you'd bought shares sometime in the past.

They grow in value, which is, of course, what you want to happen when you're investing.

And then you sell them.

Yes, I know.

So you want them over some time as sort of mum and dad longer term investors, usually you sort of, you know, you hold onto them for some time and then you sell them when they've increased in price and you make a profit.

And so usually in the past, you would get a 50% discount on how much of that capital gains you would pay.

And so that means that half of the profit you make would have no tax whatsoever.

And the other half would be added on to your

income that you might earn from other sources like working.

So I think it's important to remember that your income from investments gets added to your income from your salary or from your wages.

And then you were taxed at whatever your tax bracket was or what those extra income had pushed you into.

And so it was quite a good system for people because half of that was not taxed at all.

The other half was added to their income.

Yes, and I think it was supposed to be sort of easy for people to work it out, especially with shares where you've bought different parcels of shares at different times.
