Firmable founder Leigh Jasper posted on LinkedIn about capital gains tax measures on May 19, 2026. The post states doubling capital gains tax gives Australia the highest founder, employee and investor equity tax in the world. Leigh Jasper notes the proposed CGT measures break the equity lever for hiring at Oktopi where the post-tax economics no longer support the offers made the day the measures were announced. Leigh Jasper proposes a founder carve out at 0 percent CGT as every advanced economy with a serious deep tech industry has already signed that contract.
