Hi all
New to the forum, have one IP and ready to buy two more this year.
My accountant does not know enough about property so it’s time to move on, I got a surprise land tax bill as I bought in a family trust, he never advised me this would happen and I believe there is a way to set up a company as a nominee to avoid this. I believe he should of at least warned me I would get hit for land tax. Plus he charged me $200 for a letter to the bank for re-finance! So it’s time for a change.I need an accountant that can handle self employed with property, north west of Sydney would be preferred but not essential. If you have a great accountant or know of one that fits the bill please let me know.
Hi Bungee,
I can recommend Nick Moustacas of Strategic Wealth Management. He is VERY experienced in many aspects of investing as well as accounting, as you will find out. He is not in Sydney’s North-West though (he is in Hurstville).To call him and check him out, Phone:(02) 9580 3353

Yet, he should have mentioned the dangers and suggested you get legal advice.
Not sure what you mean by a company ‘nominee’. If a company is acting as trustee this doesn’t change anything however if the company is acting in its own right it would get the land tax threshold, but then there are different aspects to consider.
You could try Paul at Price FInancial who is in northwest Sydney somewhere – Thornleigh maybe.

Hi Guys,
Any recommendations for an investment focused tax agent/accountant in or around Melbourne?
My current agent who is also a broker doesn’t seem to be investment focused at all. To me he seems to be lacking in a lot of areas including structuring of loans and I was pretty much in the same situation as Bungee – Although we don’t own IPs through a trust I believe the division of titles could have been structured more appropriately to minimize land tax . We own IPs as husband and wife under joint ownerships and I was only aware of what land tax is once I got the letters in the mail. :)
Regards,
ABThanks everyone for the references. Maybe I could talk to you Terryw about structure. I am keen to see if there are ways to invest with the trust and avoid land tax. I use the trust to protect assets as I own a professional services business. I will email you, I need someone like you on my team.
Paul Gerrard is great
