🏡 Negative Gearing Changes – What Property Owners Need to Know

If you owned your property before 12 May 2026, you may still be able to claim negative gearing in the future — even if you decide to rent out your current home later.

✅ Existing properties owned before 12 May 2026 → Negative gearing still available
❌ Investment properties purchased after 12 May 2026 → No negative gearing unless it’s a new build

📌 This could impact future property and tax planning decisions for many Australians.
