    when doing a development, how do i minimise tax after the sale of the 2 units?
    For argument sake, if i make 100k on a development after GST CG. I would be then in the highest tax bracket. How do i avoid this ? CAN i avoid this ? Or at the very least how do i minimise that tax?

    Am i able to sell one unit and keep one therefore leaving me in debt and having no relised profit?

    Giulio,

    You should consult an accountant for structuring before entering into a property development.

    Things that need to be considered :

    1. Who will be the landholder;
    2. Who will be the development entity;
    3. Do you wish to retain any of the completed development or another party will retain the development;
    4. Is the land pre or post CGT;
    5. Will the development be on revenue or capital account.

    Discuss with your accountant.

    1. Trusts;
    2. Deeds of Partition;
    3. Income vs Capital dichotomy;
    4. Trading Stock Provisions;
    5. Stamp Duty.

    kewl, i like it when things are simplified. Sometimes when you think about things too much you comlicate them more than they should be. Unfortunatly i do that quite a bit.
