What could CGT changes mean for Stockspot clients & ETF investors?

The creator discusses upcoming 2026 budget changes to capital gains tax (CGT) in Australia, focusing on their impact on ETF investors. Key changes include a 30% minimum CGT rate and the replacement of the 50% discount with indexation. The creator argues these changes make direct share investing less appealing and ETFs, particularly low-turnover indexed ETFs like VAS, more attractive due to their netting effects and lower realization of capital gains.
