Please join us for an insightful discussion around the policy and tax changes shaping Australia’s property and construction sector and what they mean for professional services firms.
Gain practical insights to help you identify emerging risks and opportunities as the landscape continues to evolve.
The presentation will explore the national policy and tax reforms currently affecting business and property. We’ll examine what these changes could mean for business confidence, investment, employment, housing supply and economic development in the ACT and surrounding region.
We’ll also provide an update on recent tax changes coming out of the Federal Budget and their practical implications, including negative gearing, capital gains tax and discretionary trusts.
A light lunch will be served.
