    Hi,

    Excuse me for asking a basic question, but I have not found an answer online.

    I have a few IPs in my name. As I build equity each IP, I draw on it to purchase new IPs.

    I have started looking at trusts for asset protection and tax advantages. Commonly people purchase IPs in trusts, one IP per trust. How does a person draw equity from an IP in a trust to purchase a new IP in a new trust?

    I have seen some references to people on-lending to trusts for negative gearing:
    Tax Tip 89: Borrowing and onlending Interest Free to a Discretionary Trust
    Unit Trusts and the 2 methods of Borrowing
    Does keeping the lending outside the trust make a difference to how a persons would access the equity?


    Thanks
