Commercial Property
Property Structuring and Taxation
Just as a good building needs good foundations, a profitable property project needs to rest on a sound structure. Structuring is an essential element of any commercial project - it needs to be done early, and done right.
We have extensive experience in structuring property projects from small one or two lot subdivisions to multi-million dollar development projects. The income tax and GST implications of property transactions are complex, and these have become a specialty area of taxation in itself. We strive to provide a structure that is simple and understandable, but also commercially effective and tax efficient.
We have a wide experience in forming and advising on the structures often used in property projects, including:
- trusts
- companies
- joint ventures (both incorporated and unincorporated)
