Tax Talk with Paula – Federal Budget Special 2026-27


In this explosive comeback episode of Tax Talk with Paula, Antoine Vidal welcomes Paula Rizqallah from P&L Accountants back to the microphone to break down the Federal Budget announcements that have Australians talking.


From negative gearing changes and capital gains tax reforms to major shake-ups for family trusts, Paula delivers a straight-talking, no-nonsense explanation of what the proposed changes could mean for investors, business owners, families, and everyday Australians.


Topics covered include:

  • Proposed negative gearing restrictions
  • Capital gains tax overhaul
  • Trust distribution changes
  • The impact on small business owners
  • What happens next before legislation is passed
  • Why panic decisions could cost you dearly


Packed with insight, humour, and real-world examples, this episode cuts through the fear-mongering and misinformation surrounding the 2026 Federal Budget.

If you own property, run a business, invest, or simply want to understand how these proposed changes may affect you — this is essential listening.
