Get 100% of Your Trust & Company Wealth Recognized by Credit Underwriters
As a private specialist or clinic partner, your financial architecture likely involves a Family Discretionary Trust, a Medical Service Entity (Service Trust under ATO IT 276 guidelines), and a Corporate Beneficiary ('bucket company') to cap corporate tax at 25% to 30%.
When you apply for a personal home loan at a standard bank branch, the retail banker's eyes glaze over. They demand 2 years of company financials, deduct all corporate tax, ignore retained profits, and attribute personal liabilities twice.
This lack of commercial competence results in drastically reduced borrowing capacity or outright declines, forcing doctors to take unnecessary personal dividends that trigger massive 47% top-marginal tax bills.
Here is our strategy: We ask you a few quick questions about your situation, then match you directly with an accredited specialist who will fight for your approval, cut through bank red tape, and deliver your loan with zero stress. Get matched directly with an accredited specialist in 60 seconds via the Mortgage Matcher.

1. Navigating ATO IT 276 Service Trust Guidelines
Under ATO Taxation Ruling IT 276 and Phillips' Case precedent, medical practitioners utilize service trusts to provide administrative staff, clinical suites, and equipment to their medical operating entity, charging an arm's-length commercial service fee.
Specialist medical credit underwriters understand the statutory validity of these arrangements, recognizing the net profits flowing through service trusts directly to doctor beneficiaries and associated family entities.
2. Unlocking Retained Earnings in Corporate Beneficiaries
To avoid paying top-marginal personal tax, high-earning doctors retain hundreds of thousands of dollars inside corporate beneficiaries. Specialist lenders assess this retained cash flow:
- 100% Retained Profit Assessment: Counting corporate pre-tax profits without forcing the doctor to declare a taxable personal dividend.
- Director/Shareholder Ownership Proof: Verifying 100% beneficial ownership of the bucket company shares through trust distribution resolutions.
- Add-Back of Non-Operating Expenses: Adding back one-off accounting fees, fitout write-offs, and non-cash asset depreciation.
- Cross-Entity Guarantees: Utilizing corporate guarantees to secure personal residential loans at prime discounted variable rates.
3. Structuring Borrowing Across Trusts & Companies
You can choose to purchase your residential or investment property directly in your personal name, in the name of your Family Discretionary Trust, or via a corporate trustee.
