Treasurer Jim Chalmers hands down the 2026-27 Federal Budget on Tuesday 12 May, and by Wednesday morning, we'll be ready to break it all down.
It's Labor's first full Budget since re-election, and the signals are significant: a productivity agenda, a savings package, and genuine tax reform on the horizon. Against a backdrop of global trade disruption, sticky inflation, and a cash rate that has moved sharply, the policy decisions in this Budget will have real consequences for businesses, investors, and households.
Join our panel as our economist, tax experts, and financial advisers cut through the noise and tell you what it actually means. When you register, you can also send through a question for the panel to answer during the webinar. There will also be a live Q&A.
We'll cover:
- Economic outlook and policy direction under the new mandate
- Tax and finance measures impacting businesses and individuals
- CGT reform - did it happen, and what do you do now?
- The opportunities and risks to act on immediately
