    Terry, I question if doubling understates the true benefit. I see some strategies which can be a multiple of 2, 3 or more

    1. Trusts and income splitting while preserving wealth from CGT traps
    2. Tax free super
    3. Refundable tax credits... personal and in super
    4. Using spouse or your adult kids low or 0% tax thresholds
    5. LOW rate tax on super beyond the $1.7m cap x 2
    6. Retirement investment sharing with a spouse
    7. Testamentary trusts
    8. Super death benefit planning
    and so many others

    People often question "financial planning" but I argue a failure to plan is a plan to fail. A FP does not need to manage any investments unless you want that.
