I already have a copy of Wealth Guardian.

As an example, say I have $200,000 profit in the trading company.

Could I gift this to the trust and then divide as follows

$50000 to myself
$100000 to 2 other people
$50000 property investment

How would my trust be taxed on the gift based on this scenario?

What about if I have a trading company that wanted to give money to the trust to invest with. Can I just give it to the trust or do I have to loan it?

By the way what is the advantage of having a trust the 100% shareholder of the trading company rather than myself.

Hello,

Thank you Mel and Sis.

I have a discretionary trust, and have just checked with the ATO regards the interest rate required to please them.

Why can’t I use the discretionary trust to purchase negative geared property?

Who are these people? Where can I find them?
