In this episode of the Atlas Expat Mortgage podcast, Atlas Wealth Group Managing Directors James Ridley and Jeremy Harper unpack the practical implications of the proposed 2026–27 Federal Budget reforms for Australian expats at every stage of the property journey.

The discussion explores how the proposed changes to capital gains tax, negative gearing and discretionary trusts may impact Australians preparing to move overseas, currently living abroad, or planning a return home. James and Jeremy share a practical action plan covering property ownership structures, borrowing capacity, valuations, trust considerations and investment strategies, while also discussing the uncertainty surrounding the proposed legislation and what expats should be considering now.

The episode also addresses key questions from expats in Singapore, Dubai and London, providing real-world insights into buying, holding and financing Australian property in a rapidly changing tax and lending environment.
