    Well a trust, since if you hold a property for more yhan 1yr you get the 15% CGT discount, also you can distribute any income to the lowest taxed person.

    Companies don’t get the CGT discount so I would advise aginst them to hold property (but they are good for being the benefactor).

    Lucifer_au,
    good answer, but did you mean 50% CGT discount? Also, companies would be beneficiaries, not benefactors.

    Without any more details I would say buy them in your family trust (with corporate trustee). You can buy many in the one trust before you need to set up a new one.

    Where are you located?
    What are your property goals?
    What problem are you having at the moment?

    rooti,

    Trusts are often recommended as good vehicles – companies rarely are.

    It all depends on your financial circumstances & goals however.

    Talk to Nick at http://www.strategicwealthmanagement.com.au – he’s an investment structuring expert.

    Cheers,

    Aceyducey
