It would be fair to say that everyone wants to pay as little tax as they are legally required to, and everyone wants to protect the assets they have worked so hard to attain (e.g. family home, savings). So how do you do this? Should you set up a company? A trust? Both? Neither?
The answer is asset planning, and done right, it ensures both tax and asset protection objectives are met in the best way possible. A good asset plan also considers estate planning (who will get your assets when you die?).
A holistic approach is vital in achieving the optimal outcome – and that’s the tricky part. It’s complex process that requires expert knowledge to implement.
In this video, Matthew Gilligan and Anthony Lipscombe explain what asset planning is, and how to ensure your affairs are set up correctly to obtain the best result for your personal circumstances.
Just wanted to pass on how incredibly impressed I was with Quade Fraser, I have some complicated aspects to my personal situation and was looking at the a purchase of a property while needing to consider multiple individuals, a company and with my contracting and GST considerations.
I asked the consultant multiple questions over our meeting and he was able to calmly and articulately answer everything and give me cause to think about a whole lot of areas I would not have even thought of including; bright line, GST, mixed-use assets, trust structures (considering children beneficiaries), utilising a company structure etc. The bottom line is, I have a much better idea on what we need to do to structure my affairs in the most beneficial way for my family over the long-term.
Very knowledgeable, professional and with a great manner too. I got a huge amount of value out of the meeting.
