A Plain English Guide for Shareholders and Property Owners.
Trusted consultant and adviser Nick Renton's 'Plain English Guides' have helped people with their personal financial affairs for years.
This book will assist both existing and prospective investors to understand better the basics of tax and thus to improve their overall investment performance. They will also get more out of discussions with their stockbrokers and investment advisers.
This unique book fills a gap in the marketplace. It explains, in plain English, the Australian taxation system, from the special perspective of the small and medium-sized share of property investor. The book deliberately concentrates on broad principles rather than on fine detail.
The book also covers in some depth the major legislative initiatives of recent years which many investors still find confusing - dividend imputation, capital gains tax, the goods and services tax, changes to the social security means test, and so on.
Numerical examples and a detailed glossary supplement the main text. Historical background, social commentary and a few tips on how to save tax are also included.
