In this episode, Stuart and Mena discuss what to do with your trapped funds in your corporate beneficiary:

• Look at your structure of the corporate beneficiary – are your shares individually owned? Is your corporate beneficiary also your Trustee?
• Why is retaining funds in the corporate beneficiary an issue? No strategy can lead to not only compliance issues in Division 7A problems, but also an opportunity cost – i.e. can you use those funds to invest. 
• Company can invest directly in shares and property. Talk about franking differences and CGT discounts
• Lending money to a related corporate entity to invest is not subject to Div 7A
• Dividends – when should you ideally pay dividends
• Employing family members and or super contributions
