Hi guys

I have a trust set up for a business of mine. My wife and kids are also listed on the trust.
I recently purchased shares in my personal account (not through the trust).

When it comes to selling my shares, will I pay less tax on the profit if I had purchased them through the trust account? As opposed to selling them through my personal account.

Benefits with purchasing through the trust fund would be: (correct me if I am wrong)
Ability to claim the tax free threshold for all family members listed on the trust
Ability to send money to all family members super accounts

Is there a different tax rule for buying shares in the trust? Eg: do the same CGT rules apply
Someone mentioned to me that if the are sold for a trust, you pay corporate tax instead of CGT. They mentioned corporate tax was 20%. Is that correct? Or pollywaffle?

I will be transferring to the trust for the above listed benefits, but wanted to hear from more experienced investors regarding this issue.

Any insight greatly appreciated!

Not advise but Company Tax starts at $0 and personal at $18,000.
Just to add to the equation. :/
