Our work in property development

A group of first-time developers

An investor group of four individuals approached us for advice on setting up a property development business. They wanted an entity that would provide them the best possible asset protection and tax effectiveness.

This was their first time, so we wanted to ensure they understood what they were getting in to. We provided a 20-page letter of advice, answering all their questions and providing useful, practical information around stamp duty, land tax, GST, revenue, and capital accounting. And, importantly, how they could get paid.

We created a structure that managed all the moving parts of their development business. They now have a company to do the development, a holding company to manage the shares within the trading company, and a discretionary trust each to hold their shares.
