Would such a transfer of property without money changing handsentitle him to a first home owner’s grant and stamp-dutyconcession? Are IUs legally enforceable? What are the taximplications for the supposed sale proceeds even though we receiveno money from it?You could certainly transfer the house without money changinghands. But if a sale of the property would normally be subject tocapital gains tax it will be deemed to have been sold to your sonat current market value and you as sellers would be liable for thetax. f course if it’s your own home no tax would apply. I see noreason why your son should not be eligible for the grant but dosuggest you get the loan document drawn up by a solicitor to ensureyour interests are protected if he has relationship problems in thefuture.

Take advice if youwish to reduce capital gains tax by making a tax-deductiblecontribution to super because you may well find that you pass the10 per cent rule when the income from the realised capital gain istaken into account. If so $5000 plus 75 per cent of anycontribution over this amount will be tax-deductible up to amaximum amount of $105113 this year. New deductibility rules willapply next year. What happens to the balance of my super fund when I die?Is it paid to my beneficiaries and if so how is it taxed and atwhat rate?The trustee of your super fund will decide how your money willbe paid unless you have signed a binding nomination.
