    Older aussies can sell their home and downsize a home they have woned 10+ yrs and contribute a extra $300K each to super. Good idea IMO... Cannot be used by those with the $1.6m cap. Its is an extra cap...Far out how complex is super getting ??

    Aged 65+ only (stuid IMO...Why not 60?) What is a retirement age ??

    This won't be retrospective will it? I mean on already signed but not settled contracts. Otherwise this is huge.

    Something about negative gearing and not being able to claim some depreciation - any more accurate details available?

    This doesnt make sense?
    How can you have a main residence in Australia, but be non-resident?

    Good one... New INCREASED CGT discount of 60% for a NRAS type scheme..

    From 1 January 2018, the Government will provide an additional 10 per cent CGT discount to resident individuals investing in qualifying affordable housing. This means investors in qualifying affordable housing will be entitled to a 60 per cent discount on capital gains tax.

    To qualify for the additional discount, housing must be provided at below market rent and made available for eligible tenants on low to moderate incomes. Tenant eligibility will be based on household income thresholds and household composition.

    The affordable housing must also be managed through a registered community housing provider and the investment held as affordable housing for a minimum period of three years.

    The additional discount will be pro-rated for periods where the property is not used for affordable housing purposes.

    Biggest announcement is biggest bit of waffle I have ever seen in a budget.

    More homes for Sydney West...Not a cent allocated. Just a nice toucy feely comment that say it it will be adjusted to suit demand.
