As of mid-June 2026, Australia’s business sector is pushing back against federal government proposals to overhaul Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and trust taxation.
截至2026年6月中旬，澳洲商業部門正抵制聯邦政府對資本利得稅(CGT)和信託稅務進行全面改革的提議。
The government intends to replace the existing 50% CGT discount with a system linked to inflation, alongside a 30% minimum tax rate and stricter rules on negative gearing.
政府打算以一套與通貨膨脹掛鉤的制度，來取代現行的50%資本利得稅折扣，同時實施30%的最低稅率，並針對負扣稅(negative gearing)制定更嚴格的規定。
Officials claim these changes are essential for enhancing housing affordability and fairness.
官員們聲稱，這些變革對於提高住房負擔能力和公平性至關重要。
However, a major coalition of business groups, including the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and COSBOA, argues that these reforms are "rushed" and lack sufficient consultation.
然而，包括澳洲工商總會(ACCI)和小型企業組織理事會(COSBOA)在內的一個主要商業聯盟辯稱，這些改革「過於倉促」，且缺乏充分的諮詢。
Critics contend that the changes will stifle long-term investment, hurt small business owners who rely on business sales for retirement, and complicate the tax landscape.
批評者認為，這些變革將扼殺長期投資，損害依賴出售企業作為退休金來源的小型企業主，並使稅務環境變得複雜。
With the legislation currently under review by a Senate committee, the outcome remains uncertain.
目前該法案正由參議院委員會進行審查，結果尚不明朗。
The government insists on the necessity of these reforms for economic sustainability, but business groups remain firmly opposed, urging the Senate to demand substantial amendments before passing the bill.
政府堅稱這些改革對於經濟永續發展是必要的，但商業團體仍堅決反對，並敦促參議院在通過該法案前要求進行實質性的修正。
