DCCI Business & Brew | Capital Gains Tax Changes with Lisa Peachey, Senior Manager, Synectic

The 2026 Federal Budget introduced some of the most significant tax reforms Australia has seen in nearly two decades, with major changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing, trusts, and the instant asset write-off. In this session, Lisa will cut through the headlines to explain what's actually changing, what's staying the same, and what small business owners should be thinking about now, whether that's personal investments, succession planning, or simply understanding how the changes might touch their business down the track. Synectic has published a full breakdown of the Budget changes, including deeper reads on each major area, at synectic.com.au/2026-federal-budget.
