It was a tough week for the government after entrepreneurs and business owners took to social media to vent their outrage over proposed capital gains tax changes.

The 2026 federal budget includes an overhaul of the rules for negative gearing and the capital gains tax in a bid, according to the Treasurer, to address the housing affordability crisis. To get some insights into how the reform will affect the housing market, SBS Hebrew spoke to Rodney Morley, a real estate expert.

In an already difficult post-budget week, Labor isn't being helped by some of its "friends". But it has won an important endorsement from one powerful voice.

Labor has gone after negative gearing, capital gains tax and trusts while the Coalition has promised to end bracket creep by indexing tax thresholds. 

The Coalition wants to limit net overseas migration to the number of new homes built each year. Reversing capital gains tax changes, scrapping negative gearing reforms, a $5 billion housing infrastructure fund and indexing income tax to inflation are among other key proposals in Coalition's first budget reply. But CDU's Associate Professor Rakesh Gupta tells SBS Hindi that while some of the proposals sound powerful politically, the real economic impact will be slow, partial, and in some cases unlikely.

Tax reform.  It's one of the most hotly debated issues around the world.  And as global tax expert Viva Hammer notes, the biggest barrier to tax reform in Australia is not policy – it is the pursuit of perfection.  In this episode of With Interest, she brings a global perspective shaped by her work on significant tax reforms in recent US history.  Her message is clear: progress comes from doing something better, not waiting for something perfect.  Main learnings include:  lessons from US tax reform and what Australia can apply  why "better, not perfect" is critical for improving tax reform  how predictability drives investment more than headline tax rates  how to provide certainty for international investors  the role of GST as a more efficient and sustainable tax base  the fairness of corporate tax versus consumption and land taxes  where Australia sits in the global tax competition landscape  As we head toward the 2026 Federal Budget, it's clear that governments, businesses, and the accounting profession are grappling with complex and interconnected challenges – from investment certainty to intergenerational fairness and the future of our tax mix.  This episode is a timely look at a key issue with one of the most respected global voices in tax.  Tune in now.  Host: Jenny Wong, tax lead, CPA Australia  Guest: Viva Hammer, a leading global tax policy expert.

If you need a vehicle to haul heavy equipment around, you don't buy a Ferrari.  If you want a tax system that's simple, fair and efficient, you don't implement an income tax.This week, best selling author John Gaver concludes his discussion with the FAIRtax Guys on his 22 goals that an ideal tax system should meet.

In 2017, Argentina had the highest corporate income tax rate in Latin America. Reducing it was politically popular and economically desirable. Getting it through a Congress where the governing coalition held just 19% of Senate seats, while the fiscal deficit ran at close to 8% of GDP, was a harder problem. A package of reforms was planned, revenue-neutral and phased over five years: corporate tax on reinvested profits would fall from 35% to 25%; a minimum-wage deduction would reduce the payroll tax burden on firms employing informal workers; energy, alcohol, and sugar taxes would be reorganised on rational, emissions-based principles; and provincial governments would agree to phase out the cascading "ingresos brutos" sales tax in exchange for limits on public spending. In this week's VoxDev Talk, Sebastian Galiani, who served as Deputy Minister of Economy in Argentina and led the design of the reform, tells Tim Phillips how the Macri government attempted to reform its tax structure, and what it teaches us about policy. Credibility, he says, was the biggest constraint: in a country as economically volatile as Argentina, what matters is not only what the law says, but whether investors believe it will survive a change of government.The research behind this episode:Afonso, Santiago, and Sebastian Galiani. 2025.

The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestSebastian Galiani is the Mancur Olson Professor of Economics at the University of Maryland. His research spanning political economy, public finance, and Latin American development has examined how institutions, property rights, and fiscal policy shape economic outcomes. He served as Deputy Minister of Economy in Argentina in 2017, where he led the design of the tax reform he examines in this episode.Research cited in this episodeIngresos brutos is a cascading sales tax levied by Argentina's provincial governments, applied each time a good changes hands along the supply chain. Unlike a value-added tax, it allows no deduction for taxes already paid at earlier stages; the burden compounds with the length of the production chain, making it particularly punishing for manufactured goods that pass through many hands. Galiani's team negotiated a deal under which the provinces agreed to phase this system out over five years and move toward a simpler, less distortive sales tax structure.Second-best reform is the practice of improving a policy system as far as constraints allow rather than designing for the theoretically optimal outcome that cannot be achieved in practice. Galiani frames the 2017 reform explicitly in these terms: the design team mapped the distance between Argentina's actual tax system and optimal taxation, then asked how far they could move in that direction given the fiscal, political, and negotiating constraints they faced. The result departed from the ideal in every dimension; it was nonetheless a genuine improvement on what existed before.Escape clauses are provisions written into legislation that suspend or modify specific commitments if defined trigger conditions are met. The 2017 reform included several: the inflation adjustment for the calculation of corporate assets, for example, would apply only if inflation continued to fall. Galiani describes escape clauses as essential when designing policy in high-volatility environments where external shocks are not exceptional events but a predictable feature of the landscape.Related reading on VoxDevHow should economic researchers give policy advice? Stefan Dercon argues that giving second-best advice, taking into account what is politically achievable rather than what is theoretically optimal, often produces better outcomes than the standard model of advocating for the ideal and waiting.How progressive taxation affects tax compliance in developing countries. Reforms that boost progressivity and are effectively communicated can yield higher compliance alongside greater fairness; evidence that the design and communication of a reform matter as much as its content.Improving payroll-tax compliance through decentralised monitoring: Evidence from Mexico. Evidence that even formal firms evade payroll taxes, and that giving workers the right incentives to monitor their employers' wage reporting can substantially improve compliance; relevant context for Argentina's effort to reduce the payroll tax burden on unskilled workers.

Grover Norquist is no novice when it comes to politics and he's not naive. The founder and president of Americans for Tax Reform knows the midterm political environment is tough for the GOP.

Ryan Frost from Washington Policy Center exposes the fundamental flaw in Washington's approach to tax reform: lawmakers can always spend beyond revenue and simply raise taxes to cover the difference. Despite a decade of new taxes including capital gains and income taxes, the state still faces multi-billion-dollar deficits because spending has outpaced revenue growth since 2013. Frost argues only a constitutional spending limit tied to population growth and inflation can force the legislature to make real tradeoffs instead of perpetually increasing the tax burden on residents and businesses. https://www.clarkcountytoday.com/opinion/opinion-the-path-to-real-tax-reform-requires-a-spending-limit/ #TaxReform #WashingtonPolitics #SpendingLimit #Opinion #Budget #Taxes #ConstitutionalAmendment #FiscalPolicy #Government #Accountability

On this episode of Stanford Legal, host Professor Richard Thompson Ford talks taxes with Darien Shanske, JD '06, a UC Davis law professor and visiting professor at Stanford Law, who helped draft California's proposed Billionaire Tax Act, which supporters hope to place on the November 2026 ballot. Shanske explains why he believes critics have often attacked a distorted version of the proposal, not the measure itself: a one-time 5% tax on net worth above $1 billion, payable over five years, aimed at helping California respond to widening wealth inequality and cuts to the social safety net.

Canada's wealth inequality gap is widening, so much so that the concentration at the top makes up for a large chunk at the bottom. A recent report from Canadians for Tax Fairness and BC Policy Solutions found that 86 billionaire families held as much wealth as Canada's 6.2 million least wealthy families in 2023.  Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Dylan Dusseault, Executive Director of Patriotic Millionaires Canada, an organization comprised of wealthy Canadians advocating for tax increases on the wealthy to combat extreme inequality. The two discuss why some of Canada's richest individuals believe they should be taxed more to even the playing field, and what kinds of tax code reforms are necessary to narrow the gap. Then, Caryn is joined by Jim Stanford, economist and director of the Centre for Future Work, to break down some of the loopholes rich Canadians are taking advantage of - including capital gains tax preferences.
