    We dont have those type of vehicles, but achieve the same in other ways.

    1) By using a hybrid trust, so that interest is attributed back to the highest income earner.

    2) There is a special property trust that claims you can pass back the interest costs as well.

    Stamp Duty – the rates differ for each state. There are many calculators around

    The purpose – a tax by our state governments, which is used for cough roads cough hospitals cough etc.
