I'm not qualified in tax however what you're suggesting makes sense to me as you can distribute the income to minimise your overall tax until you are ready to transfer it across to them but that's when you would have a CGT event occurring when the ownership changes hands so if you want to try to avoid that you may need a separate trust?

I like renewables and think they have huge potential if they can get off the ground and produced cheaper as without government subsidies I don't think the industry would exist. Eg with CFU if they can start generating large orders rather than 10 units here or there, and bring down the costs significantly, then they have potential to thrive as a business.

I guess renewables are also in the same space as what computers were 30 years ago, something new that the world was transforming towards, so it's quite feasible for one of the renewable energy companies to do the whole Apple story.
