The full picture. Tax, timing and strategy for Aussie expat investors.
What We'll Cover
The Federal Budget, Hot Off the Press
With the Budget landing Tuesday 12 May, we'll unpack exactly what was announced and what it means for overseas Australians and foreign investors. No lag, no spin. We'll also dig into how interest rates, currency movements and global uncertainty are reshaping the Australian property market right now, and why timing genuinely matters.
The Tax Reality for Overseas Investors
Non-resident tax rates, CGT withholding, FIRB obligations, the two-year ban on established homes, state-by-state land tax surcharges, and where the ATO is turning up the heat on enforcement. All in plain English, with a clear visual of how it stacks up across the states.
Strategy, Depreciation & Banking Tax Losses
The real edge for expat investors sits underneath the portfolio. How negative gearing and depreciation bank tax losses while you're overseas, ready to deploy against your income when you return home. Plus why new builds and off-plan properties are purpose-built for this play, and how a buy-and-hold strategy compounds the advantage.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
When will the 2026 Australian Federal Budget be released?
The Budget will be handed down by Treasurer Jim Chalmers on Tuesday 12 May 2026 at 7:30pm AEST. Our Singapore event sits the night after, which means you’ll be among the first to hear expert analysis of what it means for expats and foreign investors, not the generic consumer take.
What changes might impact overseas investors?
The Budget hasn’t been released yet, so nobody knows for certain. Speculation has ramped up around changes to the capital gains tax discount, negative gearing rules, and foreign resident CGT settings. There’s also ongoing tightening around ATO enforcement for non-resident investors.
On the night, Tristan and Luke will walk through exactly what did and didn’t make it into the Budget, and what the real-world implications are for your portfolio.
