Wealth Creation
TaX FREE EARNINGS
Tax is an investment expense that reduces overall investment performance and therefore future wealth. There are legitimate tax minimisation strategies (not tax avoidance) that investors can utilise.
These include holding investments in the name of the person with the lowest marginal tax rate, dividend imputation and tax free earnings in market linked pensions.
Tax offsets/credits can sometimes effectively reduce tax to nil.
It is important to stress we are not tax advisers and any tax related advice should be confirmed as suitable by a registered tax agent for your personal circumstances.
PROPERTY & SHARES
