    Sorry. I'm interested. Could you expand please?

    You may have a tax advisor. But he's not a miricle man.

    How do you plan to give the companies assets to your children while avoiding tax?

    It's just...well, you know what I'm smelling?

    tax?

    What nollag's !!! rock is cooking?
  • This is something that I cannot understand there are plenty of unemployed builders, house prices near all time, high population explosion about to happen, apparently finance is getting easier to come by and yet there are few houses been built. Something does not add up.

    ask Graham how much CGT is for a Ltd Co and then for an individual... he won't like it :eek:

    then ask him about how many expenses you can put through

    then tell him your children can be directors so that when you sell the property they receive the income as a dividend and a small salary through the Ltd Co. much cheaper than paying tax through CGT or outside of the Ltd Co.

    he'll change the subject once he know he's been found out (again) :T

    I thought you said it was difficult to avoid tax. Seems quite easy to me. :)

    And how exactly are you going to solve the corp tax when they are sold?

    Also you are relying on the tax system remaining the same over 20 years, it changes.

    You sound more like Richard Branson every day! Wonder why you are on here so much in your various guises? Researching your next big move maybe?

    If you care to read what he was talking about....he was responding to myself about children. He stated he plans to give these houses to his children.

    I've already talked about dividends, which was ignored.

    You can try and make me look as silly as you like. I'm not interested in how much expenses you can put through the business.

    I am merely interested on how he plans to "give" these properties to his children, which are the companies assets.

    He has not talked about selling them. He has said "give them".

    Maybe let him answer for himself. I'm interested, sounds like he knows something we all don't. However, I rather think the stench of bullshyte is too much to take.

    i always thought (actually I know) the corp tax and any other additional taxes was much cheaper than CGT as an individual

    are you sure that you've thought about this and worked it out?

    that's a fair and valid point

    however, if you feel that tax rules may change you have the advantage that you can sell the Ltd Co instead of selling the property and avoid the buyer paying stamp duty on the properties. i'd need to 100% check this but i'm pretty sure that you can.
