Tax Savings Strategy 206 | Private Investment Companies
- Company tax rate of 27.5% (which will eventually reduce to 25% by 2025).
- Ability to retain profits after tax (important in the lead-up to retirement when individual taxable incomes can be high).
- Fully franked dividends can be accumulated tax free due to the dividend imputation system.
- Borrowing with banks is much more-simple and straight forward than through a trust structure.
- Once the individual taxpayers are retired (and in receipt of tax free superannuation benefits) the profits can be distributed as dividends. Two retired spouses could take out a franked dividend of $96,180 each per year and pay no additional tax due to the attached franking credits of $41,220.
- Can contribute additional investment funds to the company at any time.
- Can access cash from the investment company at any time (through director’s loans, share buy backs, or dividends).
- Companies have perpetual succession (so useful for estate planning purposes).
