[email protected]All about unit trusts Terry. Rather than explain it, I will refer you to the summersoft forum. Have a look at “Accounting and Tax” and find “Property Investor Trust- The Facts”
This will explain it for you.

[email protected]Exactly Michael
You must start with a goal in mind, but be able to change if necessary. The correct structure is important and must be flexible enough to be able to change with you.
What are your long term plans?
What is your investment stratagy?
What are the risk factors involved?
What are the benifits of each structure for you?I could go on

[email protected]Hi Zimonya
HDT’s are a complex beast. Operating losses can not be distributed to any beneficiary. Losses must go back to the unit holder(in most cases).
Here are some basice for HDT’s.
You borrow money in your name.
You purchase special income units in a HDT.
HDT then buys property.You can use the intrest on the loan as a deduction against your personal income.
HDT’s are not easy to use and if you are not sure it can cost you alot of time and money to correct any mistakes.
Was your first car a Ferrari? Hybrids are a powerful structure but in the wrong hands it may as well be a Datsun.Hope this helps

[email protected]After 80 years the trust can be resettled and can continue for another 80 years.
The income distributions can be shown as loans, therefore loans can be called back and used inside the trust for future expansion of your empire. Insert good accountant here. This is one possibility.
HDT losses must go back to the unit holders, but your HDT should be running at a profit. The funds are borrowed in your own name, you invest in units of the trust (making the borrowings tax effective) and allowing the trust to use the money as it sees fit.
Costs for a HDT vary greatly. Some charge minimal set up costs and large accounting frre for the back end. Do your research.
Hope this helps

[email protected]The bank would require the director of the Pty Ltd company to go garantor for the loan, and is responsible.

[email protected]Beneficiaries can be added and removed but it will depend on the deed how it is done.
Some deeds (the ones I use) allow the addition/ removal of benificaries via a minute entry. Cheap, easy and painless.
Others will need resettling. Expensive, possibly messy and can leave loopholes in the deed, but if done well is ok.
Family Trusts- can only have family members as beneficiaries, sometimes known as Bloodline Trust.
Discretionary Trusts- can distribute income to any person or legal entity that is a beneficiary at the the trustee’s discretion.
For the loans I would suggest you talk to one of the many brokers who frequent this forum.

[email protected]Transfering titles can be expensive, with stamp duty and CGT. There are tax benifits in trust and taxavoidnceis illegal, but tax minimisation is not.

[email protected]Cover everything that you can think of. Sit down with your cousin and brain storm for ideas eg % of ownership, a get out clause if either of you want to ect.
Even the small things can become big things if it goes sour.

[email protected]As director you can be personally liable. If the director has no assets or is in debt it is an advantage. Some creative morgages are great here.

[email protected]A “Market Linked Life Bond” is tax free after 10 years (unless the laws change in the meantime). This particular life bond also gives you the opportunity to invest with the big boys (min $100k US or more per fund) for about $10k US.
There is many ways to invest and I suggest you use a Broker that knows all the tricks of the trade.

You can also margin lend into managed funds, at a lower LVR usually 50%. So your 1mill turns into 2 mill, your profit goes from $773 200 to $1.5464mill or 154.64% with repayments at about $200k (just guessing).
Profit of $1 346 400 per annum.For the record I invest in property and business also.

[email protected]And imagine if it was tax free when you bring it back to Aus as well. Legally.
It’s all going great. If you want to know more I will be contactable via e-mail.

[email protected]The same fund finished the year at 77.32% and looks good for a while yet.
That’s $773 200 on the mill without doing anything.CATA
