Trusts: Back to Basics

Published on 30 Mar 2007 | Took place at The Chifley on Lennons, Brisbane, QLD

Trusts are an essential tool in every tax advisor’s toolbox. They offer flexibility, potential tax advantages over other structures and may also provide the added benefit of asset protection. These seminar materials provide practitioners with a fundamental understanding of the way in which trust law operates and will look at the ways that their clients may benefit from their trust arrangements.

To ensure your clients obtain the best tax advantages, including small business concessions, asset protection and divisibility of income between beneficiaries, you require a good knowledge of taxation laws as they relate to trusts. The starting point to develop these skills is a good understanding of the nature of trusts and an overall “big picture” of the taxation issues.
