I think not.
What may be a great idea, has a fatal flaw. It just isn’t enough. Contributions will be allowed from July 1 and will be taxed at 15 per cent. Withdrawals, allowed from July, 2018, will be taxed at marginal tax rates minus a 30 per cent offset. Also, couples will be able to combine their savings for a single deposit.
Realistically, this type of change is likely to push demand for properties such as units and townhouses but it’s not going to help with houses unless buyers go to the fringe or regional areas.
