I have the money put aside to pay the income tax for the 06-07 year. It is mostly all CGT and unless I buy a severely negative IP and prepay interest, I will have to pay it.
Thinking outside the square, if I invest the money into a term deposit, I can earn 6.5% on it. Have I not just created an investment which earns an income just like an IP? So, why can't I deduct the tax bill as an expense against that income?
