Tainted land – what other options now?
September 7th, 2010The much heralded new associated person rules were introduced for land transactions from 6 October 2009. There has been a plethora of commentary and articles on the new rules and it is not the intention of this article to add further to that body of work. Needless to say however it is generally well accepted that the new rules are extremely wide, and difficult to break as far as establishing non-tainted entities for land developers, land dealers and builders (although not impossible in some circumstances, in the author’s opinion). The purpose of this article is to instead explore the parameters of the exemptions available to land developers, dealers and builders. In view of the fact that many clients who are in business as land developers, dealers or builders will be “tainted” under the new rules, perhaps now is the time to focus on other ways under the Act to avoid taxation on non-business land.
Penalty interest on breaking a fixed interest mortgage
July 8th, 2009Mortgage “break fees” or “penalty interest” is a cost that has become more common place in the current economic times. With the recession starting to bite and with some taxpayers owing large sums to the banks on fixed loans with comparatively high interest rates, decisions about breaking the fixed-rate term to get lower rates have to be made. Invariably decisions like this come with a cost as banks want to be compensated for the loss of revenue that they would have received relative to the higher interest rate.
