一位澳大利亚企业家日前分享了自己的创业故事，称若早知道政府即将实施的资本利得税改革，他永远不会离开年薪超过30万美元的高管职位去创业1。这位企业家在员工时期每周工作80小时以上1，最终决定辞职自立门户，创办了一家金融科技公司1。
该企业家通过自筹方式启动业务，投入了家庭存款数十万澳元、融资超过100万澳元，并提取了2万澳元的养老金1。创业至今，公司已发展为拥有近40名员工的企业，业务覆盖澳大利亚和新西兰1。然而他坦言，创业后的薪酬仅为员工时期的三分之一1。
这位企业家对澳大利亚政府即将在2026年7月1日起生效的资本利得税改革表示担忧1。该改革将把资本利得税折扣从50%调整至30%的最低税率，导致最高有效税率可达47%1。他表示："我冒了所有风险创办企业，投入了所有个人资金，现在却多了一个我从未要求的'共同创始人'——税务部门"1。这位企业家认为，这项改革将打击年轻人的创业热情1。
An Australian entrepreneur who left an executive position earning over $300,000 annually to launch his own fintech company has voiced strong concerns about upcoming tax reforms, saying he would never have taken the entrepreneurial leap had he been aware of the changes.1
The business founder, who now employs nearly 40 staff members across Australia and New Zealand, built his company without external investors by drawing on personal savings of hundreds of thousands of dollars, securing over $1 million in financing, and withdrawing $20,000 from his retirement account.1 Despite his business success, his income as an entrepreneur has declined to approximately one-third of what he earned in his previous corporate role.1 During his employment years, he worked 80 hours per week; his workload has only intensified since starting the venture.1
The entrepreneur's primary concern centers on Australia's 2026 Capital Gains Tax (CGT) reforms, scheduled to take effect on July 1, 2026, which will reduce the CGT discount from 50 percent to a minimum of 30 percent, potentially pushing the highest effective tax rate to 47 percent.1 "I would have never started my own business if I knew how hard it was going to be or had known about the 2026 Capital Gains Tax (CGT) reforms," he stated.1 He further expressed frustration with the tax implications of his risk-taking: "I've taken all this risk in starting this business; I've invested all my personal money into it; and now I have a 'co-founder' (the tax office) I never asked for."1 The entrepreneur argues that this tax reform will undermine young people's motivation to pursue entrepreneurship and accept the inherent risks of business ownership.1
