I don't normally read the Daily Terror but this article was passed across to me.

The small business tax cuts for companies previously applied only to active/trading/operating businesses, not passive investment companies that hold family wealth in shares and real estate etc.

That ruling may change... Suddenly makes setting up a company much more appealing if my marginal rate is 39% but I could house investments in a company at 27.5%, then distribute the earnings back to me when I'm FIRE and get all those franking credits back down the line.
