为什么要设立家庭信托

---

家庭信托是一种全权委托信托，用于持有家庭的财富和资产，在澳洲很常见被用作家族企业的结构一个重要部分。在家族信托中，受益人通常是同一家族的成员或他们的公司及信托，然后让家族控制的公司作为受托人/公司。受托人拥有广泛的自由裁量权，包括对信托收入分配给不同受益人的自由裁量权。因此，家庭信托成为可以降低缴纳的税款、保护资产并限制风险敞口的有用工具。

优点一：税务筹划

优点二：保护资产

优点三：传递家族企业

尽管家族信托有种种好处，但也存一些弊端。是否建立家族信托将取决于您的个人情况。请联系安德信的税务团队获得独立建议，以确定家庭信托结构是否可以使您和您的家人受益。

A family trust is a discretionary trust used to hold the wealth and assets of a family and is commonly used in Australia as an important part of the structure of a family business.

In a family trust, the beneficiaries are usually members of the same family or their company and trust, and then the family-controlled company acts as the trustee/company. The trustee has broad discretion, including discretion over the distribution of trust income to different beneficiaries. As a result, family trusts become a useful tool to reduce taxes paid, protect assets and limit risk exposure.

Advantage 1: Tax planning

Advantage 2: protect assets

Advantage 3: Passing on the family business

Despite the benefits of family trusts, there are also some drawbacks. Whether or not to establish a family trust will depend on your personal circumstances. Please contact Andrews’ tax team for independent advice on whether a family trust structure could benefit you and your family.
