| Australia's next boom: Why young entrepreneurs need the same backing as first home buyersNanak Accountants urges policymakers to extend first home buyer-style incentives to young entrepreneurs to fuel Australia's next wave of innovation and job creation.
By: Nanak Accountants and Associates Nanak Accountants and Associates is urging policymakers to give young entrepreneurs the same level of government support that first home buyers currently enjoy - a step Principal Accountant Puneet Singh says is vital for building "A Future Made in Australia." In an article published in Accounting Times, Singh writes that while governments have waived stamp duties and underwritten deposits to boost home ownership, entrepreneurs face steep taxes, red tape, and startup barriers. "If policymakers can waive stamp duties and underwrite deposits, they can also slash taxes and red tape for entrepreneurs," Singh highlights that the First Home Guarantee scheme has helped over 185,000 Australians buy homes with just a 5% deposit, but equivalent programs for startups are limited in scale and visibility. "Every dollar a young Aussie sinks into a house deposit is capital not going into a new enterprise," To close this policy gap, Nanak Accountants proposes innovation and enterprise zones areas offering temporary tax holidays, reduced compliance, and faster approvals to attract new businesses. Singh notes that such zones have successfully spurred growth in other countries and could do the same for Australia. He also calls for greater entrepreneurship education, mentorship, and early-stage funding, ensuring that first-time founders receive the same encouragement as first home buyers. "If we can celebrate someone buying their first home, we should equally celebrate someone opening their first business," Singh adds. Nanak Accountants and Associates continues to advocate for balanced policies that promote both home ownership and innovation. Singh concludes, "Supporting a generation of job creators is just as vital as supporting a generation of homeowners. A Future Made in Australia depends on both."
