Tax Planning & Structures:

Property Development is complex and multi-faceted and may require consideration of a number of factors to include Legal, Taxation, Accounting and Business structuring. Appropriate Tax Planning and Structures can have a significant impact on the process and outcome of the development.

Some typical legal structures that a Property Developer must consider are:

1. Sole Trader;
2. Partnership;
3. Company;
4. Trust;
5. Superannuation Fund; and
6. Joint Venture.

It is important that a Property Developer seeks independent legal advice from a Tax Lawyer and/or tax advice from a tax Accountant before entering into a contract or transaction. Some of the important considerations that we are able to assist with include:

• Who is involved in the development?
• Who are the investors (if any)?
• What kind of development do I wish to undertake?
• Income tax;
• Capital Gains Tax;
• GST;
• Stamp duty;
• Taxation on profits from the development;
• Sale of the development; and
• Others.
