What just changed

2026-27
Federal Budget

From 1 July 2027, the Federal Budget will replace the 50% Capital Gains Tax (CGT) discount on assets held for more than a year with inflation-adjusted indexation.

Gains will be taxed at your marginal income tax rate, subject to a minimum tax rate of 30%.*

Australians will pay some of the highest capital gains tax in the world on future profits while existing profits will be grandfathered under old rules. It protects past profits, taxes future ambition and calls it fairness.

*Assets purchased prior to 1 July 2027 will be subject to transitional measures that preserve the 50% CGT discount. Excludes superannuation funds and small business concessions.

Who Actually pays

Founders

The value you spend years creating now gets taxed at one of the highest rates in the world. The equity you offer employees instead of corporate-sized salaries? This will be worth a lot less.

Startup employees

You join a startup over a safe job because the equity upside justified the pay cut. Going forward, your equity is taxed at a similar rate to your salary.

Young Australians

You should be encouraged to take risk. To build businesses, back founders and invest in growth and generate prosperity for everyone

Every Australian

Because when founders leave, capital follows. Jobs follow. Tax receipts follow. The pie shrinks.

What a Fair GO
actually looks like

A simple and fair tax system
Supporting Australian businesses that pay tomorrow’s wages
Competitive taxes that reward Australian ambition
Young Australians building wealth in Australia

Most Australians don’t know what’s in this Budget. Help them find out.

We're not asking for special treatment.

We're asking for a Fair GO.

Are you a founder
under 40?

The Federal Budget just dropped a massive tax hit on Australia’s business builders. By removing the CGT discount on shares, the Government has ambushed the very people it says it wants to back – business builders and the Australians they hire.

Young business builders have written an open letter to the Prime Minister asking him to reverse the change. If you build or run an Australian business – sign with us. Add your name, your business, and your role.
