Putting a duplex development onto a site that was previously a main residence can throw a lot of tax issues at you.

Let’s do some brainstorming about the tax implications of duplex developments.

When you rent out your main residence, can you tax deduct your home loan? And if you can, can you still claim the 6-year absence rule for the main residence exemption, so basically pay no CGT on the capital gain but still claim the interest while you are renting it out?

That is the question  Andrew Henshaw of Velocity Legal in Melbourne will discuss with you in this episode.

How should you structure a property development project for tax purposes? Here is Andrew Andreyev of Andreyev Lawyers with some thoughts.

A default beneficiary might save your trustee from paying top marginal tax rates on trust income and capital gains - without a 50% CGT discount. 

Missing trust distributions can cost you a lot of money unless you have a default beneficiary.

For an expansion into the US is it best if your Australian trust holds LLC interests directly? Rather than going through a C-Corp?

Imagine you want to expand your business overseas. How do you avoid tax leakage but also avoid being dragged into the overseas tax system?

When you give an Australian loan to US operations, should you loan to your US blocker or directly to your US trading entity?

When would you set up an LLC plus blocker to expand into the US market? Marsha Dungog of Withers has the answer.
