SearchWhat's the best form of structure now?

Our Experts Answer:
The golden rule is to plan the structuring around the predominant purpose, for now that is personal ownership as your family home. This means an LAQC is not appropriate, personal ownership in your own names should be just fine and is also likely to be totally acceptable when you decide to rent it out permanently. Get some advice on the cross boarder tax issues before you leave for overseas though. The LAQC as we have known it will cease to exist as a result of the governments tax reforms.
