LAQC Information to Help Property Investors & Business Owners
Pay Less Tax (Legally) and
Increase Your Net Worth
_____________________________________________________________
Hello,
If you’re excited about LAQC’s (Loss Attributing Qualifying Companies), you must be very strange, sorry. We are New Zealand chartered accountants and regarded as true LAQC experts…But even we have difficulty getting excited about this subject!
However, if you’re a Kiwi business owner or property investor and you’re seeking to accelerate and protect your net worth…right up until you die, then that’s a different story.
Now that’s what we call exciting.
But first…Thank you for visiting the ultimate LAQC website in New Zealand.
We are Matthew Gilligan, John Rowe & Janet Xuccoa from GRA. Please read on to learn more about LAQC’s and why we’d like the chance to help you.
What is an LAQC?
LAQC’s are ordinary limited liability companies that have a special tax status, allowing losses to flow through and capital profits of a business to be distributed tax exempt in many circumstances.
In plain English this means they allow you to receive more money by paying less tax.
Another way to look at it is that losses are “attributed” to the shareholder and capital gains can be released from the company tax-free without liquidation.
LAQC’s are particularly helpful for property investors and business owners because they allow a host of tax advantages that you can’t get with an ordinary company.
Are you eyes glazing over yet? If so, that’s OK, we understand! That’s why if you’ve had enough and you’re ready now for free, no-obligation information, go ahead and click on the button below.
As you can appreciate there is quite a bit to understand when it comes to LAQC’s. Fortunately, you don’t have to understand every last detail. That should be the job of your accountant. Besides, they’re the experts right? Surely, we should be able to just ‘leave it up to them’ to take care of.
Maybe.
Listen, there are true horror stories that abound in our industry about things that have just not been done right by some accounting firms. And the result?
Pain for property investors. Yet the suffering is just not limited to the financial effects. It can include effects on your health, stress levels and relationships with the people closest to you. We know because we’ve seen it up close.
For Example: Just imagine expecting a huge tax refund, only to be told by the IRD that it won’t be happening because of an LAQC procedural error caused by your accountant!
Not All Accountants Are Evil
We are accountants. We have other accountants working here at GRA and we’re not evil. It’s not our intention to slam our industry, other accountants or the incompetence of a few. It’s actually our intention to empower clients to better understand this subject (if they want to).
We believe that this approach will improve our industry and the overall levels of service delivered to our clients. What do you think?
That’s Why We Set UP This LAQC Website
Yes, LAQC’s are relevant to business owners (more about that later), but they are also particularly relevant to property investors in New Zealand.
The hype that has surrounded the property investment world over the last 10 years in New Zealand has been stifling. Would you agree?
Up until the end of ‘08, it seemed like some property investment marketers would have no problem camping out on your front lawn if they got the sweet whiff of equity on your breath! Bless ‘em.
You’ll find this website free from halitosis. We’ve eliminated the bad breath and confusion that has been characteristic of LAQC’s as it relates to property investment and accounting, and instead we’ve replaced it honest, straightforward stuff you’ll actually need.
We wanted to provide an online service that was easy to use, all in one place, where anyone could get instant access to real LAQC experts.
On LAQC.co.nz, you’ll get facts, ideas and tips on absolutely everything you’ll ever want to know about LAQC’s. Plus, you’ll learn that if an LAQC that is set up and managed properly, it can help you stabilise and protect your net worth for you, your family and your future.
In short, this whole website, is all about putting more money back into your pocket while at the same time protecting your assets.
Of course, we hope to do business with you in the future, but our first goal is to educate and help you to understand this whole subject of LAQC’s a bit better - and only if you want to.
We figure that if we do this openly and without expectation, eventually some of the visitors to this site will feel comfortable about taking the first step to talk with us. Maybe even you?
Put simply, we want to prove that we can earn your trust by giving you free access to credible, accurate and timely information including the potential pitfalls that must be properly dealt with when setting up an LAQC.
It’s All About You and Your Goals
Our goal at GRA and on this site is NOT to set up LAQC’s and Family Trusts for our clients. In fact, sometimes we don’t even recommend them! No, our goal is to help you grow and protect your net worth and your future. Sometimes that involves setting up structures, sometimes it doesn’t.
You see, our expertise lies in taking a holistic ‘integrated’ approach to your success. We break the traditional mould of accounting firms and business advisors by working first to understand your situation. It’s only after that, that we make the best recommendation. And we make that recommendation based on what you need to keep grow your wealth AND keep you safe.
We’ve helped literally thousands of Kiwis just like you to do the same.
Look, we know it’s not just a matter of setting up an LAQC or family trust, take your money and ‘she’ll be right’. Believe me, you need us to go deeper into things, and analyse the risk management, estate planning and taxation issues at the same time.
And that’s how we’re different. We have the right people with the right expertise and the right experience. Because we’re all under the same roof, our ‘one- stop-shop’ approach saves you time, money and stress.
Yes, anyone can sell you an LAQC just like anyone can sell you a parachute (even on the internet)…but for the same price as others, we actually check for holes!
We hope we can do the same for you.
