Stage Three Tax Cuts 2024-2025: How new changes could benefit first home buyers

Introduction

In today’s blog post, the Stage Three Tax Cuts are once again the topic of discussion.

However, in this post, I will be writing about how first home buyers can benefit from the changes to Australia’s tax system.

Tax cuts are always a big deal – so read on to learn why you should think about getting the changes to work for you.

Body

In the last blog post, I wrote about how the changes in tax thresholds and tax rates are set to benefit first home buyers – as the extra cash in their bank accounts will give them greater borrowing power.

However, you should note that it is still recommended borrowers not take out a loan that is at their financial maximum.

In the long run, property investors would end up with a better outcome than those who are owner-occupiers if they tested their financial limits.

It is thought that the changes to tax will result in a small improve when it comes to the bottom part of the housing market.

This is because those who are purchasing their first home often face limits when it comes to how much they can borrow.

As aforementioned, first home borrowers will now have slightly more borrowing power due to the cuts.

Houses that are on the less expensive scale will particularly be helped by the tax cuts – however the housing market on the whole will benefit from them.

If you are wondering what the best option is for you, speak to your local mortgage broker for help.

Below are listed a number of key points to keep in mind if you are a first home buyer and wondering how these latest tax cuts could benefit you.
