I've never heard this term before. Can you elaborate?
Its basically an old loophole which has long been closed.
You could buy a house in a $2 company, and then sell the company (or transfer it) without paying stamp duty, because the company is only worth $2.
So now the assets of the company are taken into account. It could apply to anything held in a company, not just a house.
Changing trustee is not a sale as far as I know, but you may have LPI fees.
Dunno if this helps, but my trust has a clause that allows beneficiaries to be added. Is it possible to simply add the purchaser as a beneficiary, resign as trustee & appointer, & transfer those duties to the 'purchaser' in exchange for $$$. CGT & stamp duty would not be payable as there's no change in ownership.So what about a company that is just a trustee for a trust which owns the house? I'd like to pay you $800 / hour for your answer, but my company has no assets.
