Welcome back to The Account Rant.
It’s 1 July, which means a new financial year and a long list of tax, super and financial changes that could impact individuals, employees, investors and business owners across Australia.
In this episode, John Saade and Catarina Santini break down 11 major changes that came into effect from 1 July 2026, including tax cuts, minimum wage increases, super contribution cap changes, the new $1,000 automatic work related deduction, Medicare levy surcharge threshold changes, parental leave updates, payday super, Division 296 super tax, the instant asset write off and the return of the loss carry back offset.
John and Cat unpack what these changes actually mean in practical terms, who benefits, who misses out, and where the Federal Budget may still be falling short for everyday Australians and small business owners.
They also discuss housing affordability, inflation, retirement planning, business cash flow, cost of living pressures and whether these reforms genuinely help or simply create more confusion.
If you want a practical breakdown of what changed from 1 July without the government spin, this episode is for you.
