A granny flat could come with an unexpected land tax consequence.

It’s easy to assume that if your main residence is exempt from NSW land tax, everything on the property is covered too. That may not always be the case.

A 2025 NCAT decision highlighted an important distinction when it comes to free-standing granny flats i.e. whether the granny flat is attached to or separate from the main residence. The graphic below explains the distinction.

If you already have a granny flat, or are considering building one, it’s worth understanding the tax position before it becomes an unexpected cost.

18 years! What a ride it has been. From starting out in Manu’s lounge to now having a team of more than 30 people across 4 countries. What began with humble beginnings, determination and care has grown into a global boutique firm serving clients across continents.

We Care, We Deliver, We Destress. With these at the heart of all we do, we pride ourselves in taking the stress off our clients, keeping them informed and delivering non-obvious solutions.

As we forge ahead, a heartfelt thank you to our clients, team and partners who have been such an important part of this journey. Here’s to many more years of innovation, growth and impact!

Would you take on more time, risk and capital for an extra $500K? Though this sounds like an easy question to answer, but arriving at it requires deep understanding of multiple financial aspects.

A property owner we worked with had two options: secure the DA and sell, or go ahead with the development and sell the completed properties. The answer wasn’t in the sale price alone. Once tax, GST, development costs and cash flow were modelled, the economics looked very different.

Developing and selling left the client better off by $500K. The case study breaks down how we reached that decision. Facing a similar property decision? M G Arthur & Associates can help you model the options before you commit.

This week, Team MGAA stepped beyond tax and accounting to understand how lenders read the financials we prepare.

In a CPD session led by our very own Lakshan Rajakumar and Vikram Anand, Directors at Zinu Capital, we explored what happens on the other side of a lending application.

A few key takeaways:
• Income is only part of the picture. Lenders also consider what a client could owe
• Small financial commitments can have a big impact on borrowing capacity.
•Presentation matters. How financials are structured and explained can influence the lending process.
• Preparation starts early. Financials prepared today could shape a client's borrowing options tomorrow.

For Team MGAA, it's about building expertise beyond traditional tax and accounting to better deliver value for our clients.

Zinu Capital, MGAA's mortgage arm, has been helping our clients secure competitive mortgage solutions alongside effective tax structuring for over three years.

Watch this space for Zinu Capital's public launch in the coming weeks.

𝗠𝗚𝗔𝗔 𝗥𝗲𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 | 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗮 & 𝗦𝗿𝗶 𝗟𝗮𝗻𝗸𝗮 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲

Following our Sydney and Philippines kickoffs, Teams India and Sri Lanka brought energy, sharp thinking, and an incredible team spirit to the latest MGAA retreats.

From museums and escape rooms in India to badminton and the beach in Sri Lanka, the teams stepped away from their desks to connect, recharge, and put some everyday workplace strengths into action.

𝗔 𝗳𝗲𝘄 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝘂𝘁:

•𝗧𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆: Visvesvaraya Museum, India, sparked conversations around innovation, adaptability, and building scalable systems.

•𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲: A last-minute schedule change put Team India to the test and showed what clear roles and teamwork can achieve.

•𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝘀: Whether solving challenges or competing on court, success came from combining individual strengths.

•𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸: Shared meals, conversations, and downtime strengthened the relationships behind our everyday collaboration.

Managing Partner Manu Gupta also joined Team India on ground - MGAA vest and all!

Two retreats, one shared takeaway: trust your people, play to your strengths, and adapt together.

Recharged and ready for what’s next.

The proposed Federal Budget introduces major tax reforms that could significantly impact property investors, trusts, small businesses, and wealth creation strategies across Australia. While most changes are not expected until FY2028–FY2029, early planning will be critical as measures such as restricted negative gearing, a 30% CGT floor, and trust tax changes are proposed.

Swipe through to see what these changes could mean for you and your long-term strategy.
