Podcasts about Capital gains tax

Election season is heating up, but are the polls telling voters the full story? Tudor Dixon sits down with veteran pollster John McLaughlin, CEO and partner at McLaughlin & Associates and longtime adviser to President Donald Trump, for an inside look at the battle for Congress in the 2026 midterm elections. McLaughlin breaks down the razor-thin Michigan Senate race, why he believes Republicans need to sharpen their message, and how turnout could ultimately determine control of the House and Senate. He also explains why he questions some national polling methodologies and argues that Republicans must take their case directly to voters rather than relying on traditional media. The conversation dives into Mike Rogers and the Michigan Senate race, Abdul El-Sayed and the Democratic Party's progressive wing, Medicare for All, taxes, housing affordability, voter ID and proof of citizenship, as well as Republican proposals that McLaughlin believes could help define a national midterm agenda. Tudor and McLaughlin also examine Democratic primary results in Michigan, Wisconsin and Florida, the growing influence of democratic socialist candidates, concerns surrounding political fundraising and foreign money, and what both parties' strategies could mean for the balance of power in Washington. With the 2026 midterms approaching, McLaughlin says Republicans cannot simply run on President Trump's accomplishments—they need to clearly tell voters what comes next and define the choice facing the country.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour's confident stagnant property prices won't hurt its plans to slash debt if re-elected. The party's seeking to return to surplus by the end of the decade and lower net debt to 20% of GDP over time. Its plans hinge on a fully implemented Capital Gains Tax. Labour Leader Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking that it's not expected the sliding property market will continue. He says even the current government's budgeting for property prices to return to a long term average growth of around three percent. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour's staying tight-lipped on whether it would make more cuts to the public service if elected, but assures it's focused on protecting it. The party's latest election promise sets out to achieve surplus by 2030, and reduce net debt to 20 percent of GDP over time. It will aim to keep Government spending and revenue at around 33 percent of GDP once its Capital Gains Tax is fully implemented. Finance and Economy spokesperson Barbara Edmonds joined the Weekend Collective to outline the plan further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A bipartisan bill gaining momentum in Congress could double the capital gains tax exclusion for homeowners who sell their primary residence. The proposal would raise the exclusion from $250,000 to $500,000 for single filers and from $500,000 to $1 million for married couples filing jointly, with future increases tied to inflation.   Supporters say the change could also help unlock housing inventory by removing a potential tax barrier for longtime homeowners who are reluctant to sell. Kathy Fettke explains what's in the More Homes on the Market Act, why the National Association of Realtors is backing it, and what the proposal could mean for homeowners, housing supply, and real estate investors.   Learn more about investing in Real Estate at RealWealth.com.   Source: https://www.realtor.com/news/real-estate-news/capital-gains-tax-exclusion-more-homes-on-the-market-act/

Simon explores the rising trend of unethical and poorly structured deals in the property market, highlighting how bad advice and a lack of tax knowledge can devastate motivated sellers. Through real-world case studies involving lease options, mortgage arrangements, and unexpected Capital Gains Tax liabilities, he breaks down why pushing sellers into cornered deals inevitably backfires.  Simon provides essential guidance on navigating upcoming budget changes, structuring creative strategies like vendor finance properly, and ensuring every transaction delivers a genuine, ethical win-win outcome. KEY TAKEAWAYS Squeezing motivated sellers into bad deals frequently causes transactions to collapse, wasting both parties' time and money. Unethical or incompetent deal structuring can leave sellers with massive unexpected Capital Gains Tax bills while stripping away their cash flow. If another party pays a landlord's mortgage, HMRC still treats that mortgage payment as taxable income for the property owner. Truly successful property investing relies on structuring ethical, win-win solutions that protect your reputation and let you sleep well at night. BEST MOMENTS "If you push a seller too hard, push them into a corner, get them to agree to something they don't really, really want to do, it's more than likely they're going to change their mind, back out of the deal..." "When we're dealing with people's financial situations, we really need to be educated, we need to be aware of all the implications—not just the current implications, but also future implications." "I truly believe if we look for the win-win ethical solution, we can sleep well at night knowing we've helped someone and we've made money at the same time." "Make sure you consider not just the current situation, but also the future situation, especially if it's an investment property and there may be some tax liability they're going to have to pay in the future.” VALUABLE RESOURCES To find your local pin meeting visit: ⁠www.PinMeeting.co.uk⁠ and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20).

An expert believes some property investors are selling up ahead of the election. Data from property analysts Cotality NZ shows the proportion of properties resold for a gross profit has fallen to its lowest level in almost 14 years. The median length of time people are holding on to properties that sold for a profit hit record numbers, at almost 10 and a half years. Property Investors Federation Advocacy Director Matt Ball told Ryan Bridge there are fears of being taxed on inflation. He says some people are worried about the election and getting out ahead of time, while others are sitting tight and watching nervously.

The Wealth Preservation Architecture: Deferring Capital Gains Tax and Maximizing Exit Equity with Brett SwartsIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Brett Swarts, the Founder and CEO of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, to examine the severe tax liabilities that threaten high-net-worth business exits and real estate transactions. Brett, a leading wealth preservation strategist, commercial real estate expert, and author of Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan, details how traditional tax-deferral mechanisms like the 1031 exchange frequently limit investor flexibility and expose assets to market volatility. This conversation provides a comprehensive, data-backed operational guide for founders, real estate investors, and M&A advisors who want to legally defer 33% to 40% in combined capital gains taxes, retain capital compounding power, and construct flexible, long-term estate planning frameworks using the Deferred Sales Trust (DST).The Asset Preservation Paradigm: Unlocking Compound Growth and Flexible Liquidity Through Deferred Sales TrustsThe primary operational oversight committed by founders and real estate investors during an asset liquidity event is delaying tax-deferral architecture until after a transaction closes. In high-tax jurisdictions where combined federal, state, and depreciation recapture taxes routinely consume 33% to 40% of net profits, selling an appreciated asset without an established exit structure results in an immediate, permanent destruction of capital. While many investors default to a traditional 1031 exchange to defer real estate taxes, this rigid framework forces buyers into strict 45-day identification windows and 180-day closing deadlines, often compelling them to overpay for replacement properties in inflated markets. Implementing an installment sale framework via a Deferred Sales Trust before closing removes these rigid timelines entirely, allowing the full proceeds of a business or real estate sale to be reinvested into diversified stocks, bonds, or new entrepreneurial ventures tax-deferred.Executing a Deferred Sales Trust requires a disciplined structural pivot where the seller transfers ownership of the business or real estate asset to an irrevocable third-party trust in exchange for a customized promissory note. The trust subsequently executes the final transaction with the end buyer, receiving cash proceeds while issuing structured, tax-deferred note payments to the original seller over a multi-year horizon. Because capital gains taxes are triggered only on the principal payments actually received by the seller, the remaining capital inside the trust compounds tax-deferred at its full value. This strategic separation of asset ownership from liquidity streams allows high-net-worth founders to secure predictable passive income, diversify their wealth out of concentrated positions, and maintain strategic influence over investment allocations without incurring immediate tax penalties.Furthermore, leveraging specialized trust structures provides enterprise leaders with critical ancillary benefits, including robust asset protection against future litigation and the systematic reduction of estate tax liabilities. As the global market prepares for unprecedented multi-trillion-dollar wealth transfers driven by retiring business owners, financial advisors, brokers, and CPAs who master advanced capital gains tax-deferral strategies gain a massive competitive advantage. By offering clients viable alternatives to strict 1031 exchanges or immediate tax hits, advisors can unlock trapped equity, preserve multi-generational wealth, and build long-term client retention. When early tax planning, rigorous legal compliance, and flexible trust administration are synthesized into a single exit architecture, business owners eliminate transactional drag, shield their capital, and predictably maximize their enterprise equity.About Brett SwartsBrett Swarts is the Founder and CEO of Capital Gains Tax Solutions, a commercial real estate veteran, an international speaker, and an expert in capital gains tax-deferral frameworks. Drawing from years of hands-on experience facilitating complex real estate transactions and business exits, Brett specializes in helping high-net-worth individuals navigate tax traps and preserve wealth. He is the author of Building a Capital Gains Tax Exit Plan (featuring a foreword by Shark Tank's Kevin Harrington) and host of the Capital Gains Tax Solutions Podcast, dedicated to helping business owners and advisors unlock financial freedom through advanced trust structures.About Capital Gains Tax SolutionsCapital Gains Tax Solutions is an elite corporate tax advisory firm and wealth preservation agency engineered to help real estate investors, business founders, and high-net-worth individuals legally defer capital gains taxes. The company specializes in delivering customized Deferred Sales Trust (DST) frameworks, exit strategy coaching, estate tax planning, and advisor partnership programs. Through structured legal compliance, third-party trust administration, and comprehensive wealth strategy blueprints, Capital Gains Tax Solutions enables sellers across complex asset classes to eliminate tax friction and maximize their net-worth compounding potential.Links Mentioned in This EpisodeCapital Gains Tax Solutions Official Website: capitalgainstaxsolutions.comBrett Swarts on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/brett-swartsKey Episode HighlightsThe Pre-Close Timing Rule: Why exit planning must be executed prior to closing a transaction to legally defer capital gains liabilities and protect wealth.Overcoming the 1031 Exchange Bottleneck: Utilizing the Deferred Sales Trust to bypass strict 45-day identification windows and reinvest in non-real estate asset classes.The Installment Sale Mechanics: Deferring 33% to 40% in combined federal and state taxes by selling assets to a trust in exchange for a structured promissory note.Multi-Generational Estate Tax Protection: Shielding large transaction proceeds from estate taxes and creditors while setting up seamless inheritance structures for heirs.The $124 Trillion Advisory Opportunity: Equipping financial advisors, M&A brokers, and CPAs with advanced tax-deferral strategies to win high-net-worth B2B clients.ConclusionThe conversation with Brett Swarts underscores that maximizing the value of a business exit or real estate sale is an intentional architectural process rather than a post-transaction accounting exercise. By standardizing internal exit governance, replacing rigid exchange models with flexible trust structures, and acting well before the deal closes, business leaders can transform a massive tax burden into a highly structured, self-sustaining wealth preservation engine.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

For a generation, Australian investors were advised to hold their investments until they retired. Then once they entered tax-free retirement, they could largely sidestep CGT tax. This central plank of financial advice is finished: Every retiree will now pay a minimum 30 per cent tax and nobody will escape.Dr Adrian Raftery, author of '101 ways to save money on your tax - legally' joins Associate Editor, James Kirby in this episode.

Send Us A Message! Let us know what you think.The election campaign has officially ignited a fierce debate over capital, wealth, and property taxes in New Zealand. In this episode, we dive deep into the facts behind Labour's proposed 28% Capital Gains Tax and the Green Party's proposed wealth and inheritance tax structures. We also crunch 70 years of historical real estate data to reveal the truth behind the 10-year doubling rule, look at why high-quality listings are essentially "on special" right now, and address the staggering new Inland Revenue data showing a massive spike in KiwiSaver financial hardship applications. The Looming Property Taxes: Labour has proposed a 28% Capital Gains Tax on realized residential and commercial property gains starting from a July 1, 2027 valuation day (excluding the family home currently). Meanwhile, the Green Party has proposed a 2.5% wealth tax on net assets over $10 million and a 33% inheritance tax on assets over $1 million. The Confirmed Banking Levy: Under Budget 2026, a new prudential levy on banks and insurers is expected to raise $290 million. Financial institutions rarely absorb these operational fees, meaning they will likely pass them down to consumers via higher mortgage interest rates. The 10-Year Doubling Rule Exposed: Historical data since 1950 reveals that nominal house prices doubling every decade only actually occurs about 55% of the time. The 2020s are currently on track to be the weakest growth decade in 70 years, sitting at just 10% value growth so far. The KiwiSaver Hardship Reality: Over 58,000 KiwiSaver members submitted financial hardship applications in 2025—a clean doubling of the volume recorded just two years prior. Don't get frozen on the sidelines by election-year fearmongering.

Australia's capital gains tax rules are changing from 1 July 2027, and the shift could matter for anyone holding crypto, shares, property or other investment assets. In this episode, Peter walks through what is changing, why the government is making the change, and how the move from the 50% CGT discount to indexation plus a 30% minimum tax floor may affect Australian crypto investors.The episode covers the current CGT treatment for crypto, how long-term holders currently access the 50% discount, what the new indexation model is designed to do, and why the transition period could create messy gain-splitting calculations for assets held before and after 1 July 2027. It also looks at practical planning conversations to have with an accountant, including whether to realise gains before the cutoff, hold through the change, borrow against assets, or explore superannuation structures.This content is general education only and is not financial, legal or tax advice. Speak with a qualified accountant or financial adviser before making decisions about selling, restructuring or borrowing against crypto assets.Key Takeaways:- The current 50% CGT discount for assets held longer than 12 months is being replaced by an indexation-based approach from 1 July 2027.- The new system includes a 30% minimum tax floor on real capital gains, which may affect investors differently depending on their marginal tax rate.- Crypto remains subject to standard CGT rules, including disposals triggered by selling, swapping, gifting, converting to fiat or spending crypto.- Assets held before 1 July 2027 and sold after that date may require gains to be split between the old and new systems.- The change may create planning decisions for long-term crypto holders who already have unrealised gains.- Some investors may consider realising gains before the cutoff, while others may prefer to hold and accept the new treatment.- Borrowing against assets and self-managed super fund structures are discussed as options to raise with a qualified adviser.- The episode strongly emphasises getting personal tax advice before making any CGT-related decisions.Links & References:- Tax reform bill passes the Parliament: https://link.learncardano.io/HfEtiC- Greens back CGT, negative gearing changes in return for extended NDIS inquiry, end to super loophole - ABC News: https://link.learncardano.io/SQig5Z- Federal Budget 2026–27 | Insight | Baker McKenzie: https://link.learncardano.io/G6bprx- Federal Budget Analysis 2026 | Capital Gains Tax - William Buck Australia: https://link.learncardano.io/m8W6Ox- https://link.learncardano.io/LXjMqw- https://link.learncardano.io/E5WvMt- https://link.learncardano.io/CEFrM5Website: https://link.learncardano.io/bQ68RcX/Twitter: https://link.learncardano.io/3a1QtvDisclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only.

Most tax debates focus on the what: rates, base, and who pays. This episode is about the how: the process by which economic policy gets made. Drawing on his time in the Australian Treasury, host Gene Tunny argues that the latest changes to capital gains tax and negative gearing reflect a breakdown in good policymaking. They were announced on budget night without the consultation, published modelling, or public mandate that major reform deserves. As a contrast, Gene revisits the Howard government's GST process of the late 1990s: a detailed white paper, published modelling, and a policy taken to an election for a fresh mandate. With clips from a recent Death and Taxes livestream featuring co-host John Humphreys and guest Derek Francis, the episode asks a question that reaches well beyond Australia: what does good policy process look like, and what does it cost us when governments skip it? Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com.  What You'll Learn from This Episode Why good policy process is critical for successful economic reform. How the GST was developed through extensive modelling, consultation and public scrutiny. Why inadequate consultation can lead to unintended consequences. The role Treasury plays in providing economic advice to government. How poor policy design can affect investment, productivity and public trust.

Australia has endured nearly a decade of weak productivity growth, and living standards are under pressure. In this episode, Gene Tunny and John Humphreys explore the common thread connecting several major economic debates: investment and incentives. They discuss Australia's productivity slump, the Federal Government's proposed capital gains tax changes, Brisbane's Olympics infrastructure plans, and the challenges facing the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). Along the way, they explain why economists place so much emphasis on incentives and what current policy settings could mean for Australia's future prosperity. Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com.  What You'll Learn from This Episode Why productivity growth is the ultimate driver of long-run living standards. How savings, investment and innovation contribute to economic prosperity. The economic arguments for taxing capital gains differently from labour income. Whether Brisbane's Olympic infrastructure spending is likely to address existing bottlenecks. Why economists place so much importance on incentives when designing public policy.
