    Freeman Fox - Wealth Club

    Hi All, Just thought I would offer a beginner point of view. I read books, lots of them. Nothing happened. I went to an intro semminar and started to get motivated. Finally went to a 2 day semminar (Peter Span) and now things are happening. Recently became a Saphire member of Freeman Fox...

    Anybody hear what Mark Latham wants to do to CGT?

    Work for the Dole? Hi All, Interesting discussion. I don't have an opinion just a question :) Rodimus mentioned that 'some' people go to the dole when they decide that its easier than working in a low wage job. My question is, what happened to "Work for the dole"? I never really...

    Discretionary trusts

    At the Chat that Dale had in Sydney the other night, he said that it is approx $2000 to setup a trust (Hybrid or Discretionary) with a Company (Pty Ltd) as trustee. I am in the middle of setting up a trust and so far this has proved to be right on the money. :D Hope this helps.

    API Magazine Question

    If Residex supply their Data on Postcode (which seems a bit misleading to me as the above examples highlight) Is there someone who provides data based on suburb so that you could get a more accurate picture of what is going on?

    ATO attempts to close another loop hole re PPOR ownership thru trusts

    I have a question. It says that it is a "Unit Trust". Does that mean it is okay to do a similar thing through a "Discretionary Trust"??? I know they are similar setups, but you can't do the above if you have a Discretionary Trust, though it would be very similar. Still new to the whole...

    Another property scam- Sydney Sunday Telegraph story

    Hi Asy, When you say 'just use care with your title' - does that just mean that I put the title document in a safe deposit box in a bank over leaving it with a solicitor. Or do I have to do something more?

    NSW Land Tax - Wow !!

    That makes sense, and my answer is that yes you can claim it as an expense. But as it is a Tax, it kind of threw me and its always good to get someone elses opnion. Thanks.

    NSW Land Tax - Wow !!

    Question Short version: Are Hybrid trusts safe for the protection of assests? Long version: Have been reading what I can on trusts and from what I can tell, a Hybrid trust uses parts of the Unit Trust setup. I also read that beneficiaries are legally responsible for debts incurred by the...

    Text Area Size on Message composition

    Thanks for the reply Sim. I run my screen at 1600x1200 so it really sticks out to me. :D I have been using notepad and doing the copy and paste and will continue to do that. I live for the day when the Text Area tag can work like a table cell and be set to a % just by setting an option...

    Text Area Size on Message composition

    I guess this is for Sim :D Can we get the message composition text area made wider? I see a lot of big posts on this forum and those people must feel as frustrated as me when they only have a tiny little text box to look at. On a typical 1024x768 screen there is all this wasted space...
