What Structure?
The structures in Parts 3 and 4 of the guide illustrate various ways in which a business or investment can be structured. Each of the structures has different outcomes in respect of asset protection, flexibility of income distributions, tax treatment and other aspects of their operation.
The flowchart “What structure is right for you?” available as a dynamic flowchart on this site assists in identifying potential structures which may be appropriate. The flowchart identifies those issues most commonly raised and refers to the more generally known structures. The flowchart does not address more specialised structures.
Issues to be considered prior to a recommended structure being adopted for a particular situation are identified in the “Structuring checklist”.
