New LVR limits and a possible capital gains tax
Property rules in review
AI summary
Two potential property rule changes are under review, according to Cotality economist Kelvin Davidson. The Reserve Bank has proposed easing LVR "speed limits," which would likely benefit investors by increasing the allowance for low-deposit lending.
A more uncertain proposal is a 28% Capital Gains Tax (CGT) for investors, which depends on the election outcome. While the LVR change seems probable, the CGT will remain a significant political issue, potentially signaling lower future returns for property investment.
