    Hi people,
    I have a couple of preliminary questions regarding discretionary trusts:
    1) Is it possible to move investment property assets (owned individually in VIC without a mortgage) into a trust without triggering capital gains tax and stamp duty?
    2) Can the beneficiaries receive trust income more frequently than once a year (ie to pay for their living expenses)?
    Thanks in advance,
    Danny

    Hi Danny

    Simple answers:

    1) No it is not possible.

    2) Yes they can receive it daily if the Trustees agree however is going to depend on the profit that is made.

    Cheers

    Hi Richard,
    Thanks very much for the reply…
    In response to 1) – I feared as much.
    As for 2) – that’s some good news at least.
    Best regards,
    Danny
