Would it make sense to move a property into a trust if land tax savings > stamp?

If the last house tipped you over, it seems to me that stamp of 15k would be paid off in just 4 years (4k land tax yearly).

But land tax is tax deductible. So maybe the pay off period is much longer. And you'd also want to move the most expensive property out because the LV will keep increasing and you don't want to negate any benefits too quickly.

What do you think? Or am I missing something here?

 

Have you considered any CGT event implications on the "sale" to your Trust? Also consider any neg. gearing losses might be trapped in the Trust.

 

It depends...

on
State of the land
Stamp duty
CGT
How much equity
Ability to get finance

 

I only just bought it so no CGT. I screwed up putting it into my name.

 

And no equity to extract!
