Card surcharges on Visa, Mastercard, Amex and eftpos are banned from today, 1 October 2026.

Weekend surcharges and service fees aren't covered, so don't expect every receipt to shrink. But the separate line for paying by card is finished.

If you run a business, check your EFTPOS settings and decide how you'll recover those costs. You can build them into your prices or offer a discount for other payment methods. Either works, as long as your pricing is clear.

🚨 The 2026 Federal Budget could fundamentally reshape how Australians invest, structure wealth and retire.

Today we unpacked:

🏠 Proposed negative gearing overhaul
📈 Removal of the 50% CGT discount from 1 July 2027
💰 New minimum 30% tax on capital gains and trust distributions
👴 Private health rebate changes for retirees
📊 Whether bracket creep has quietly become a long-term budget repair strategy

Some of the numbers are massive. An $800k negatively geared property will commonly become ~$9,000 p.a. worse off in after-tax cashflow under the proposed rules.

We also discuss:
⚖️ Winners vs losers across property and shares
🏦 Whether super becomes even more attractive
👫 Why couples and trust structures may need review before 2027

Importantly: these are still proposals, not law.
