SAPEPAA and SMSFs - Huge Opportunity

From Grant Abbott, Chairman SAPEPAA


The recent Budget has been a disaster for the accounting profession as tax breaks get shredded every day. A disaster for accountants - but a big win for SAPEPAA Advisers.


As I predicted in 2025 there were five big waves expected to hit Australia over the next three years - each one that could tip us into recession. The Five Waves:


  1. Property prices to plummet by up to 20% or more

  2. AI to start automating middle management and professional services employment leading to irretrievable job losses

  3. China to diversify and pull back on Australian resources and cut into government royalty taxes

  4. NDIS and Aged Care to double in budget impact in the next seven years

  5. The Government to increase wealth taxes


Well all the waves are starting to come to shore or are building to a tsunami. The Governments desperate move to increase taxes on wealth - property, shares and crypto with a minimum 30% capital gains tax will drive the large Australian residential property economy into recession. That will impact State government stamp duty revenue, Government tax receipts as investors won't sell, banks will have a lot more mortgagee in possession sales (bargains to be had), tradies will be hard hit except at new developments, businesses servicing property impacted and the list goes on. The fifth wave has brought the first wave on-shore.


In all the Chicken Little hysteria, the SAPEPAA Adviser should be seeing the massive opportunity now for ALL business and property owners to building or upgrading family trusts to Family Protection Trusts - protecting home and investment property equity with The Protector - use options strategies for non-trust asset growth - building a strong SMSF and Family Wealth Protection advice line and of course, put in place Waterfall Wills and SMSF Wills. You cannot trust the government anymore so protection is a family prerogative.


As to be expected, the big kill joys - the Greens, have knocked out SMSF Borrowing for residential property - but there are so many other strategies for SMSFs which are now one of the pre-eminent tax minimisation and asset protection vehicles.


On Monday 29 June 2026 at 12.30pm AEST I will be going through the Budget measures - the Greens SMSF Borrowing restriction and my ten reasons why SMSFs are the best - as well as the best new strategies for residential property investment in a SMSF - combined with a Family Protection Trust. Plus a relook at buying offices, factories and farms in a SMSF.



This is a vital Emergency SMSF and FWP session so register even if you are not coming so we can send you the video. So many opportunities - how do I even sleep.
