📈 Made a capital gain? Here’s what you should know.

Selling an investment property or other asset this year? You may be eligible for the 50% CGT discount, but it’s a common misunderstanding:

✅ 50% CGT discount ≠ 50% less tax

Under current rules, eligible taxpayers who’ve held an investment property for at least 12 months may qualify for the discount. It reduces the capital gain included in your assessable income, not your tax bill by half. Capital losses and other eligibility rules can also affect how the discount applies.

⚠️ With broader CGT reforms set to change the treatment of gains accruing from 1 July 2027, timing and planning matter more than ever.

Understand the tax impact before you sell. Talk to the team at Premium Books & Taxes.

💰 How do franking credits actually work?

If you hold Australian shares, your dividend statement might show more than just the cash you received. Here’s the simple version:

💵 Cash dividend: the amount paid to you as a shareholder
➕ Franking credit: reflects tax the company has already paid
🟰 Grossed-up dividend: generally included in your assessable income

🔑 Key takeaway: the franking credit may be available as a tax offset, subject to eligibility and the applicable rules.

Before you lodge, check your dividend statement carefully. The franked amount, unfranked amount and franking credit all matter. 📄

🏠 Repair or Improvement? It matters at tax time.

Not every dollar spent on your rental property is treated the same way by the ATO. Before you claim, it’s worth knowing which category your work falls into:

🔧 Repair: fixing wear, damage or deterioration that happened while the property was rented. May be immediately deductible.

🛠️ Initial repair: fixing defects that already existed when you bought the property. Generally capital in nature.

🎨 Improvement: renovating, upgrading or replacing an entire structure. Generally treated as capital expenditure.

Getting it wrong can mean a missed deduction, or an amended return you didn’t plan for. 💡

💰 Same dividend. Different tax treatment.

Did you know that not all dividends are taxed the same way? 🇦🇺

Whether your dividend is fully franked, unfranked or partly franked, the franking credits attached can make a difference to your tax outcome.

✅ Fully franked — includes franking credits for tax paid by the company.
✅ Unfranked — no franking credits attached.
✅ Partly franked — franking credits apply to only part of the dividend.

📄 Don’t guess. Check your dividend statement! Understanding your dividend income can help you get your tax return right.

Card surcharges are officially banned, but your processing fees haven’t disappeared. 💳❌

Seeing $50,000 on your employment contract doesn’t mean $50,000 lands in your bank account.

Between income tax withholdings, the Medicare levy, and other deductions, your gross salary and your take-home pay can look very different. Knowing your actual net pay is essential for realistic budgeting, savings goals, and avoiding tax-time surprises.

Need clarity on your payslip, tax bracket, or how to maximize your allowable deductions? We’re here to help.
