    Yes as long as the date on the sale contract is after July 1 2007 then the profit will be assessed in the Tax Year 2007/2008.

    You are not operating as a Company Trust but the Company maybe the Corporate Trustee.

    Tax will be paid by the Company at a rate of 30% however when distributed will come with franking credits so the beneficiares may pay more of less dependant on their own marginal Tax rates.

    Trusts do not pay tax, it is the recipient who pays the tax. Therefore the rate of tax will vary depending on the beneificiary's income in that financial year. If you distribute to a company, the rate is fixed at 30%, if an individual, then the rate will vary from nil to 48%
