DrD<p>New Zealand is an oddity.<br>The only OECD member not to have a broad-based Capital Gains Tax. The country desperately needs an injection of additional recurring tax revenue to fund critical infrastructure - and modelling confirms that a CGT is the optimal tax vehicle to generate ongoing significant revenue. Opposition historically to a CGT has had an almost religious fervour about it - but cometh the eventual political realisation, cometh the tax. <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/NZpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NZpol</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.nz/tags/CapitalGainsTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CapitalGainsTax</span></a></p>

Mojo ♻️<p>Negative gearing, capital gains reforms unlikely to lead to major fall in property prices…. The journalist missed a critical point in this article. While the focus has been placed on potential rent increases and minimal impact on property prices, what isn’t being highlighted is the fact that we, as taxpayers, are already subsidising wealthy multiple property owners to the tune of $7 billion a year. It’s absurd that ordinary Australians are footing the bill for those who already hold significant wealth in real estate. If we’re serious about housing affordability and fairness, it’s time we stop propping up the property portfolios of the rich at the expense of the rest of us. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/negativegearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>negativegearing</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/housingcrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>housingcrisis</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/capitalgainstax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalgainstax</span></a> <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-10-01/house-prices-rise-investors-negative-gearing-cgt-tax-policy/104414756" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2024-10-01/hou</span><span class="invisible">se-prices-rise-investors-negative-gearing-cgt-tax-policy/104414756</span></a></p>

EndemicEarthling<p>Real estate agents are rarely considered the victim. But when it comes to the behemoths of property listings in Australia, estate agents have faced price gouging to the tune of a 5000% price rise over the last 15 years for a 'premium' listing on the market-dominant platform. Without paying for that 'premium' service, properties tend to disappear from search results.</p><p>Since the behemoth in question is a subsidiary of (and substantially bankrolling) Australia's dominant media company (i.e. <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Murdoch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Murdoch</span></a>), with a market capitalisation greater than supermarket giant <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Coles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Coles</span></a>, here is yet another reason the political duopoly are reluctant to touch structural <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/TaxJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaxJustice</span></a> issues such as <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/NegativeGearing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NegativeGearing</span></a> or <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/CapitalGainsTax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CapitalGainsTax</span></a>.</p><p><a href="https://todon.eu/tags/RealEstate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RealEstate</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/WealthInequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WealthInequality</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/Auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Auspol</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/AusMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AusMedia</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/PriceGouging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PriceGouging</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/HousingJustice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HousingJustice</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/HousingPolicy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HousingPolicy</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>housing</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/PropertyBubble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PropertyBubble</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/CostOfLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CostOfLiving</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/MurdochMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MurdochMedia</span></a> <a href="https://todon.eu/tags/MurdochPress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MurdochPress</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20240000000000*/https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/sep/19/the-bear-at-the-door-estate-agents-say-they-fear-speaking-out-about-realestatecomau-price-gouging" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">web.archive.org/web/2024000000</span><span class="invisible">0000*/https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2024/sep/19/the-bear-at-the-door-estate-agents-say-they-fear-speaking-out-about-realestatecomau-price-gouging</span></a></p>
RaymondPierreL3<p>Another Greg Jericho article. This time on the cost off house ownership, the tax break oncapital gains and who benefits from it. Is thee a better way? A tentative yes.</p><p>“But the thing about that capital gains discount is that not only has it verifiably distorted the housing market by making negative gearing a very attractive proposition – the benefits overwhelmingly go to the richest.</p><p>This is because the very richest, unlike most of us, don’t get a lot of their money from salary or wages. People who have incomes over $1m make up only around 0.2% of all taxpayers, and they earn 1.3% of all salaries and wages earned, but 41% of all capital gains earned.
