Land tax threshold question

Actually it could be possible for one company controlled by wife and one controlled by husband to not be related and therefore get an exemption each - under some circumstances.

Thanks Terry.

That is some heavy reading for a Sunday night lol. :D

It's something we really have to look into though as we would rather keep buying in nsw so if using a company or two is a way around it for us we will consider it.

You also need to consider all the other consequences to a company owning property - no 50% CGT discount, income tax, dividends, succession, control etc etc.
 
Does a trust (qld) get the 50 percent discount for CGT purposes?

Its not as easy as that. While the trust may well stream a discount capital gain the tax position of the beneficiary is the key element.

- Beneficiary with a Carried fwd loss would lose the discount on the extent of the losses used.
- Non-resident beneficiary loses discount
- Family trust election and other issues
 
Thanks Terry and Paul. I was firstly keen to have it confirmed that the trust does get the discount. We will be likely selling a house soon with a big capital gain and we have various options with beneficiaries, tax positions etc.

We will be ensuring we get good advice.

I do appreciate the quick answers.
