Hi Rolf, Can you recommend one such tax accountant? Ajax, Thank you very much for the detailed info. I read through the ruling and it looks like fertile ground for argument. But my friends situation points to the non-resident side as Rolf mentioned. Much appreciate your help. J

Hi Rolf, Happy New Year to a dedicated forumite :) !! He's an american citizen on a biz visa. Thanks, J

Thanks Y-man. I re-read the deed and noted that as the appointer and the director, I can re-appoint someone as my successor in the Will. The successor will have full powers and discretion. I think that's the way to do it. But as soon as my accountant comes back from holidays, I'll confirm...

Hi there, Any advice and opinions on the tax situation below will be very much appreciated. I tried ringing the ATO helpline however they won't reopen until Jan 3 and I need a fairly good answer ASAP. Many thanks for prompt responses :) A good friend of mine is a US resident who worked...

:confused: I just did my personal Will but am totally stumped on how to distribute and dispose assets held in a Trust for which I am the sole director. Any advice or direction on how to do this will be very much appreciated. Thanks! Triple J :)

circa 1890s Hi Oztexs, Just went to a garage sale in the neighbourhood. The lady just sold her 1890's orginal settler's home with about 850m2 for 1/2 million. This is right on Windsor road. When there is owner occupier, the price will never drop. Jess.

Hi, From reading all the previous posts on flips and property options contracts on property deals, I realise that getting the legals right is one of the most important things to flip properties. Can the gurus recommend their lawyers who have good knowledge of how to structure these...

Hi all, Here is a recent article in the Age. I am a little confused about this bit "Some costs of repairs will also be classed as capital even when they are paid for after a property has started earning income" The example given in this article is repairing a roof leak that existed...

Opps :D Thanks Bundy. South East Brisbane. Logan, Woodridge, Springwood. Thanks! Jess.

Hi everyone, I have an IP in QLD (Woodridge) that requires 2 new security doors installed. I live in Sydney so won't be able to see the finished work. Someone honest and value for money will be good. Can anyone recommend one they've used before? Any door vendor near south east Brisbane...

Hi Adam, Thanks for the reply. This may sound stupid but what is a joint flush? Why is it difficult? :confused: I've never worked with Gyprock before but from reading other threads, it seems that it's can be diy. Thanks :)
