This week we celebrate 5 years of the Money Madams podcast and it also marks our final episode.

In this final episode we share our favourite take aways on the podcast over the last 5 years.

Thank you for listening to us, we hope you enjoyed listening as much as we enjoyed sharing with you.

Family Trusts can be a great tool for minimising tax and protecting your assets. One of the downsides to a trust is that the income must be distributed each year, but what if you would prefer to delay receiving that income until a later, lower income earning year? Welcome to the bucket company strategy!

In this episode we give some examples of where a bucket company strategy including having a second family trust can leverage your tax planning resulting in you keeping more of your hard earned money.

In this episode, we talk about Discretionary Trusts and why people use them. They can offer great benefits for the "Beneficiaries", but do you know the difference between an "Appointer" and the "Trustee" and the role of the "Settlor?"

We tackle the jargon of the different roles that need to be considered when setting up a trust. So if you have ever wondered if there could be a benefit such as protecting your assets, or reducing tax, tune in as we cover the key elements of discretionary trusts and how they can help you towards these ends.
