How does one ensure that all their hard years of work spent to acquire their entire asset wealth is not protected without an adequate structure?
At Gambles Accountants we ensure when establishing or restructuring a holding or trading entity taxes are not the only paramount consideration. A more important consideration than taxes is asset protection. What is the benefit of saving tax if you cannot protect your asset in the case where claims against you were unexpected? e.g. divorced spouses, recalcitrant relatives, wind up of business instigated by a frivolous workers compensation insurer or creditor.
