Abstract:

This paper covers some of the issues to consider when choosing a business structure, be it a company, a unit trust, a discretionary trust or a partnership. The focus is on highlighting structuring elements you want to include and those you want to exclude from a structure, including:

  • dividend access shares and how they can be used following the recent changes to the small business CGT concessions
  • unit trusts and their use as superannuation investment vehicles
  • discretionary trusts and the problems of choosing an appointor.
