Attention NSW Property Investors: Understanding Land Tax Benefits for Unit TrustsIn NSW, unit trusts can benefit from a land tax-free threshold of $1,075,000 for the 2024 tax year by qualifying as fixed trusts under the Land Tax Management Act 1956 (LTMA). To qualify, the trust deed must meet specific criteria:Beneficiaries must have present entitlement to trust income and capital, which cannot be affected by discretion in the trust deed.Only one class of units can be issued.The proportion of capital entitlement upon winding up must match the proportion of income entitlement.Non-fixed ("special") trust unit holders may not receive the full benefit of the threshold.Understanding these criteria is crucial for maximizing land tax benefits. #NSWProperty #LandTax #UnitTrusts
