    • the impact of the pension clause in double tax agreements
  • Shares and units in private companies and trusts: what is the residency position?
    • bringing assets into the Australian net: what are the CGT consequences?
  • Assets held under trust:
    • application of section 99B on distributions - how to identify what amounts are corpus?
    • strategies for keeping a foreign trust outside the Australian tax net
