I’ve published a book on “Things Your Accountant Never Told You About Investing in Property”. I cover structures as part of the discussions in the book that you might find useful.
It’s free so even better

PTSMike replied to the topic Melbourne – Need Good Property Accountant in the forum Legal & Accounting 6 years, 2 months ago
An old thread but a good question. What do I do when I’ve purchased assets in my own name and then enter into a business with a risk of being sued. Asset protection has become an important issue.
Of course the first point of a call is a lawyer who can give legal advice on structuring. Worth discussing with them the benefits of moving to a…[Read more]
PTSMike replied to the topic PPOR and CGT in the forum Legal & Accounting 6 years, 2 months ago
– consider whether you can use the six year main residence absence rule and the impact on any other property which may have been your main residence
– why won’t moving back in make a difference for CGT purposes ?
– look at third element costs to reduce the capital gain where appropriate

PTSMike replied to the topic Capital gain tax on new unit sales in the forum Legal & Accounting 9 years, 9 months ago
In both of these instances if the intention was to buy , develop and sell then it is on revenue account. CGT wont apply. So if the property was held for 2 years wouldnt matter you wouldnt get the discount. Even a profit from an isolated transaction can be on revenue account. Refer myers case. Tread carefully

Suggest you download and have a look at the e-book put together by Terry and I. It can be accessed at http://www.propertytaxsolutions.com.au It doesn’t cover everything and developments are a complex area of tax, legal and accounting.
You need to consider things such as income tax, stamp duty, GST, estate planning and whether you want the…[Read more]
