    contemplating the idea of owning IP in different way than single ownership. I read in other topic between spouses you can have both spouses on loan and one on title. In this way the spouse on title receives all the +/- gearing benefits. Is this clear cut from tax point of view, do ato accepts this as valid arrangement. also, when IP gets sold i assume spouse on title is liable for all capital gain...

    If it can be done its good in a way that servicability issue can be solved by two incomes but gearing benefits are allocated to one spouse only...anyone has seen or done some sort of arrangement...
