Just a friendly reminder that from 1 August, the Federal Government's fuel excise is set to return.

As a result, petrol prices are expected to increase by around 16 cents per litre.

If you're running low, it might be worth filling up before the price rise kicks in. Every little bit helps!

📢 SUPERANNUATION UPDATE (from 1 July 2026)

Important changes are coming to superannuation from 1 July 2026 that may affect your retirement planning:

💰 Contribution caps increasing

Concessional (before-tax) cap: $32,500
Non-concessional (after-tax) cap: $130,000

📈 Bring-forward rule (non-concessional contributions)
Eligible Australians may be able to “bring forward” up to 3 years of non-concessional contributions, allowing a total of up to:
➡️ $390,000 in a single year (subject to total super balance limits)

This strategy can be useful if you’re:
✔ Selling assets
✔ Receiving an inheritance
✔ Boosting retirement savings in a lump sum

⚡ Transfer balance cap increases

From $2.0m → $2.1m

⚡ “Payday Super” begins

Employers must pay super at the same time as wages (in most cases), improving timeliness of contributions.

📊 These changes may create new opportunities to grow your super — but contribution strategies should be reviewed carefully before making decisions.

📢 Federal Budget Update – What It Means for You

The latest Federal Budget has introduced some of the most significant changes to the Australian tax and investment landscape in years. Here are a few key takeaways:

💼 Tax Relief for Workers
A new $250 annual tax offset has been announced for working Australians (from 2027–28).
A $1,000 instant tax deduction for work-related expenses will also be available, simplifying tax time.

🏠 Changes to Property & Investment Rules
Negative gearing will be restricted to new properties only from 1 July 2027.
The capital gains tax (CGT) discount will move away from the 50% rule to an inflation-based system, with a minimum tax rate of 30% on gains.

📊 Impact on Investors & Wealth Planning
These reforms are designed to rebalance the system toward workers and first home buyers, while reducing tax advantages for certain investments.
Existing investments (held prior to budget night) are generally grandfathered, meaning current arrangements may remain unchanged.

🏢 Support for Small Business
The $20,000 instant asset write-off is set to be made permanent for eligible businesses.

✅ What’s important:
While many of these changes don’t take effect immediately, they may have a significant impact on future planning decisions—particularly around property, tax strategy, and superannuation contributions.

If you’re considering any financial decisions over the next 12–24 months, now is a good time to review your strategy.
