How to avoid the 45% tax rate?
Did you know that income remaining in a trust is taxed at 45%? It is imperative that any trust income is correctly allocated before 30 June 2015 to avoid horrible tax outcomes. To achieve the best outcome you should:
- understand your tax position for the year ended 30 June 2015
- prepare an effective tax plan for the remainder of this tax year
- review your trust deed
- prepare compliant minutes and resolutions before 30 June 2015
It takes considerable experience to undertake these steps so professional advice is highly recommended. Please contact our office for further details.
