Hi all,
Re to the following website:
ATO Law Website: TR 2002/D2
It is regarding using a trust to own your PPOR, hence gaining the ability to claim tax deductions for interest, depreciation and some household expenditures.
Will such a ruling make this impossible to do legally, and do you think it will be retrospective?
I've read a case that showed a doctor who bought his family home in a trust arrangement and claimed deductions which concluded in the FCoT unsucessfully denying them. Im assuming he would have claimed liability risk being separated from his occupation?
Therefore, in future cases I'd be guessing you'd have to have a good reason for doing so? What do our inhouse accountants / pro's think of it?
-Regards
Dave
