There’s a common saying that there’s nothing certain in this world except death and taxes, and so today, we’re taking it one step further and talking about a death tax. That’s right. You might’ve heard the term ‘death tax’ in the news lately amid discussion on the Federal budget. 

In today’s podcast, we’re going to explain the proposed changes, which mean discretionary trusts would face a minimum 30% tax on trust income.

Hosts: Zara Seidler and Elliot Lawry
Producer: Rosa Bowden

Why is everyone talking about a 'death tax'?

Everywhere we turn, it seems like there’s talk of housing prices, the housing crisis and what’s actually going on.

This week, we received the latest figures on house prices across the country, and the stats included the fact that housing prices have actually gone DOWN in some cities. 

In today’s podcast, we’re going to unpack these figures, what’s behind the slowdown and what they mean for the broader economy.
