The 2026 Federal Budget delivered the most significant property tax reform in over 25 years. For anyone who owned an investment property, was planning to buy, or held assets inside a family trust, the rules fundamentally shifted overnight.

We hosted a live online webinar to break it all down last May 14, 2026.

Our speakers were:

→ Abdullah Nouh, Founder and CEO of Mecca Property Group, with over $350 million in property transactions behind him

→ Ridhwan Hannan, Partner at Hannan Accounting and a property tax specialist with over a decade of experience advising on trusts, SMSFs and individual investors

→ Ella Cas, Lead Buyers Agent at Mecca Property Group

→ Hosted by Ramzy Alamudi, Head of Growth at Mecca Property Group

What we covered:

→ What actually changed versus the noise in the headlines→ What it meant for those who already owned investment property and what the grandfathering rules actually covered

→ What it meant for those about to buy and how to think about the window before 1 July 2027

→ How the new build versus established equation shifted

→ CGT under indexation, who pays more and by how much

→ The 30% minimum tax for family trusts and SMSF investors

→ Whether this was actually an opportunity for first home buyers

→ What to do in the next 90 days to protect and position a portfolio
