The measure is expected to be officially presented in the federal budget on May 12, marking the end of a 27-year system that provided a fixed 50% discount on long-term capital gains.
This change represents a historic shift back to the “inflation indexing” model used in Australia during the 1980s and 90s, prior to the 1999 reforms. According to leaked information, assets purchased after May 10, 2026, will fall under the new rules, with the full implementation of the system expected by July 1, 2027.
The current model allows investors to cut their taxable gain in half if they hold an asset for more than 12 months. Under the new scheme, instead of a fixed discount, the cost base will increase in line with inflation. This means investors will pay tax on real gains rather than nominal ones
Crypto Investors May Be Among the Hardest Hit
The reform is likely to impact holders of high-risk, high-yield assets like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and technology stocks most severely. During strong bull cycles, inflation indexing offers significantly less relief compared to the current 50% tax discount.
An example discussed by Australian tax analysts illustrates how dramatic the difference can be. Under the current system, an investor with a capital gain of 100,000 AUD would only pay tax on half that amount. Under the new model, if inflation is at 5%, the taxable profit barely changes—resulting in a significantly higher final tax burden.
Long-term “HODL” investors are in the highest risk group, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) struggle to compensate for the loss of the 50% discount mechanism for assets with multi-fold growth. At the same time, the system will become considerably more complex for individual tax returns, requiring the tracking of inflation adjustments for every single asset.
Government Seeks Revenue and Real Estate Cooling
The Anthony Albanese government justifies the reform by the need for increased budget revenue and a desire to curb “tax-incentivized” demand for property. Estimates suggest the current 50% reduction costs the state budget approximately 20 billion AUD annually.
While the official focus is on the housing market, crypto assets, ETFs, and stocks also fall within the scope of the reform, as the cabinet insists on “tax neutrality” across different asset classes.
The government is expected to include a hybrid transition model for assets purchased before the reform. In this scenario, part of the holding period would be taxed under the old rules with the 50% discount, while the remainder would be subject to inflation indexing.
Markets are already closely watching the May 12 budget, as the reform could trigger significant changes in investor behavior, particularly regarding cryptocurrencies and high-yield long-term portfolios.
