Source: South Australia

Published Date: 3 May 2007

 

Land is commonly held in both discretionary trusts and unit trusts. There are many federal and state tax issues that are unique to such ownership through both types of trusts. The tax implications can vary greatly depending on the type of trust used and the way in which the property is used. This presentation explores important issues of land ownership through these trusts, including:

  • practical implications on ‘absolute entitlement’ and the implications of the CPT Custodian case
  • gearing property acquisitions through trusts
  • land tax issues for trusts
  • cloning and splitting trusts with property
  • in specie distributions and vesting of trusts:
    • stamp duty implications
    • capital gains tax implications
  • special types of land in trusts:
    • farm land
    • main residences.
