In this episode, Cheryl and I we dove into the nuances of property ownership and the implications of choosing between trusts and personal ownership. We discussed how high-income earners often approach their property portfolios from a tax perspective, highlighting that losses in trusts can’t offset personal income. It’s crucial to maintain a neutrally geared property portfolio, especially during growth phases, and we explored the benefits of combining personal and trust ownership for effective long-term tax planning.
As we wrapped up, we emphasized that our ultimate goal should be net wealth creation rather than merely minimizing taxes. Whether you’re a high earner or just starting out, these strategies can enhance your portfolio. I encourage you to work closely with your accountant to ensure you’re maximizing your tax efficiency while focusing on building wealth for the future. If you have any other strategies or questions, we’d love to hear from you!
