    Depending on your family situation, if your wife does not work, you can put assets in her name. The 30% tax rate goes up to $80,000 a year, so you have to earn a decent amount before a company provides a lower tax rate. Also, individuals get the benefit of the 50% CGT reduction, companies do not.

    Of course, putting your assets in your wife's name means they are her assets, so not the best idea, if you think you about to get divorced.........
