Hi
Please discuss:
When doing business (lets say marketing a product online via a website), is it any safer doing it thru a company or trust compared to doing it in your own name?
I have read somewhere that as director of a company we are responsible for some things such as financial liabilities of the company. But how about legal responsibilities in terms of business?
I am planning to do a website marketing/distributing products, and I have a unit trust that is empty and not doing anything, so i thought i might register it under my unit trust name (or the trustee company name). At least this way the tax is only 30% instead of my personal tax of 42%. This trust doesn't hold any properties, as I hold property under another hybrid trust.
