In this article, http://www.smh.com.au/nsw/obeid-bou...coal-profits-inquiry-told-20130123-2d6km.html they discuss loans being made from trusts to minimise their tax bill.
Is anyone able to confirm if this type of activity is ok from ATO perspective?
i.e. have money sitting in a company at 30% tax rate and have a higher marginal tax rate. Can the company lend money to the individual, so that they have access to it, without paying additional tax?
Thanks,
Matt
