Labor's Capital Gains Tax Changes: A Major Rewrite or Minor Tweaks?

The Australian Labor government has introduced concessions to its proposed capital gains tax changes, increasing the small business threshold to $10m and exempting testamentary trusts from a new tax rate.

The concessions cost $475m over forward estimates and are crucial for the government's housing market reform agenda.
