While Labor decides whether to take negative gearing reforms to the election, questions will continue growing
ABCA week ago, it was a "not terribly clever" question. Negative gearing and capital gains tax rules have sat in Labor's bottom drawer since the party's bruising 2019 election defeat. In the lead-up to the last election, Labor vowed to keep both the Coalition's Stage 3 tax cuts and "maintain the existing regimes for negative gearing and capital gains tax". Treasury looking at ways to 'scale back negative gearing' As the Nine newspapers first reported yesterday, Treasury has "started work on options to scale back negative gearing and capital gains tax concessions, preparing the ground for a bold new housing policy that could define the federal election". This may be true, but until Labor clears up whether it will or won't take negative gearing and capital gains tax reforms to the election, the questions will continue.
