Stamp duty to transfer from someones personal name to a company trust structure. You might say, well you don't need to transfer that house into a trust, just each subsequent house. Well, what if I intend to earn over 180k in salary from my job?
Long term investment - Long term outlook.
The way we did it was to own high CG / negative CF properties in our own names to relieve the tax on the high income. The trust was used for running our business.
BTW - I think there is a ATO rule against setting up trusts purely for Tax minimisation purposes.... could be wrong. Can anyone enlighten me?
