The most common saying we all use too often is, "I don't have the time." This stressful feeling that we experience on a daily basis of being overwhelmed with too much to do and having too little time to do it in, is what keeps us from achieving our goals. |

Your first responsibility is to yourself and if you want to help other people you need to start with yourself. So spend more time building your property portfolio because a passive income from your properties will give you the time to do the things that you really want to do.
I have seen the property market change very rapidly over the past few years.
During these changing times our only chance to succeed in building a sustainable property portfolio that will look after our retirement, is to harness the resources and knowledge of experts in their chosen fields and to focus on what they do best.
IGrow is expanding rapidly and we are proud to introduce you to TrustFocus.
TrustFocus is a premier trust company under the umbrella of IGrow Wealth Investments and is based in-house at our offices in Durbanville for your convenience.

Igmar Potgieter, the managing director of TrustFocus, is one of the leading trust experts in South Africa.
His main purpose is to ensure that your Family Trust and Property Trust are set up correctly for property investment purposes.
Igmar is also a specialist in advising business owners on the correct structures to keep their members’ interest and shareholding in a business trust away from creditors.
IGrow's first trust seminar will be held on
1 September 2010 and here we will highlight the finer details regarding trust administration, taxation and how to put your trusts to work.
On this note we would also like to thank
George Robertson and Neels Stander for their service and assistance to IGrow members and wish them success in their future business ventures.

Both estate duty and capital gains tax are payable upon death, which is perceived as giving rise to double taxation. The estate duty raises limited revenue and is cumbersome to administer. Moreover its efficacy is questionable: many wealthy individuals escape estate duty completely through trusts and other means. Taxes upon death will be reviewed.
The question of whether estate duty as a form of tax collection should be scrapped has been discussed in the past and is currently under review by the authorities.
What is a fact is that the levying of estate duty and CGT on death has a double taxation impact on the estate of the deceased.
According to SARS' statistics, the collection of estate duty only contributes to around 0,02% of total revenue collected.
The question now arises is:
What is the future of "Inter Vivos Trusts", should estate duty be abolished?
|
|
|
| |
If a trust is established with these purposes in mind, it will always offer far greater benefits than just a tax saving (estate duty).
It can further be assumed that should estate duty be abolished, then donations tax will also fall away.
This will result in assets being transferred to a trust more quickly and easier and the trust as a wealth protection vehicle will be utilised more efficiently.
Assets that are being held in a trust can now be used by the trust beneficiaries, free of estate duty, free of CGT, free of executors' fees.

Since the release of Mt Simon Estate we have been overwhelmed by the positive reaction from our investors! This shows that there is no real science in knowing that when the opportunity to invest in the prestige Stellenbosch property market presents itself at an affordable price (starting from R682 000), it is to be grabbed with both hands!
Mt Simon Estate, an investment opportunity which caters for the unique rental demographic of Stellenbosch, packaged as an exclusive security estate, will help ease the enormous demand for accommodation that exists amongst not only students, but those working in and commuting to Stellenbosch. These full-title, plot and plan opportunities are selling out lightning fast, so be sure to contact our office for more information if you do not want to miss out. Mt Simon Estate is scheduled for completion in January 2011...More info
