Tax effective schemes in Australia...Tax effective schems in australia have had a lot of bad press of late. This stems from the ATO decision to not allow quite a number of these schemes after a lot of Australians had invested in them.
What most people have failed to realise is that the schemes being touted at the time where completely legitimate, according to their documentation, some even had ATO approval. The problems came when the companies running these scheme change course and did not follow their rules as set out in their documentation. Whem the ATO went back to check them they had fallen out of the Tax Effective area and could not gain the tax breaks that had been promised. Unfortunatly this was too late for a lot of Australians who had invested heavily in these schemes, giving them a double whammy. That occured as most investors borrowed to go into the schems and because the schmes were not allowed by the ATO in the end they not only had to go back and recalculate their taxes they also could not clain the high interest charges as a deduction. However, there are still a lot of very good schemes out there. The government allow these schemes as a way of allowing certain industries that are underfunded, cannot raise capital on the markets but are deemed as required but government. Such schemes often involve agrobusiness, such as trees for plup, almonds, grapes, olives and other such investments. It is imperative when looking into a each scheme to choose a company who has a good track record and has been pre approved by the ATO.
