Property acquisition with a syndicate of investors
21st January 2013
-
Acquiring property in a Self-Managed Super Fund (SMSF) can be great from a tax perspective. But what if you are investing with a syndicate of investors and the use of a SMSF isn't viable or desirable?
-
Consider a structure using a partnership of discretionary trusts (with corporate trustees).
-
With this structure you can (1) pass through tax preferred capital works and depreciation deductions without triggering a capital gain, (2) maintain access to the 50% CGT discount, (3) maintain access to the Small Business CGT exemptions (where they would otherwise be available), (4) inject income into the trust to soak up losses, and (5) stream income.
