Tax management strategy
As one of the largest tree farming managers in Australia, ITC is focused 100% on forestry. ITC's product structure is unique. All fees after initial establishment in the Pulpwood and Indian Sandalwood projects, may be paid as a fixed percentage of harvest proceeds which totally align ITC's interests with investors. That is, if ITC does not perform, they don't get paid. Now with the backing of Futuris (Market cap exceeds $1 billion), ITC offers sound returns from investing in sustainable tree farming, a proposition supported by the high recommendation of independent research groups. ATO product ruling confirms 100% tax deductibility. Investment options, research reports and the ITC 2004 PDS (offer document) are accessible here or phone us on 1300 880 160.

Any potential tax advantages for 2003/2004 would only be available to investors who invest prior to 30 June 2004.
