Tax Issues in Business Restructures – 5 program video webinar series

/td>

Clients undertake business restructures for a whole range of reasons, from estate planning needs, getting a business sale ready and improving either the tax or business efficiency of the business structure they are using.

But a successful business can find its need to restructure stymied by capital gains tax: these days very few businesses can claim the pre-CGT asset exemption in full or even in part, so they must resort to other means if they are to avoid paying CGT.

This series is designed to review all the legitimate methods provided in the tax law to make restructures work without CGT imposts: after all, the CGT events entailed in a restructure do not generate any hard cash! It will do this –

• First, by discussing the common imperatives for business restructures and the common client profiles, and explaining how to identify businesses which are ripe for a restructure

• Secondly by explaining how to use common types of CGT rollovers in business restructures

• Thirdly by explaining how to use the CGT small business concessions and the small business rollover in business restructures

• Fourthly by covering off on documentation and evidence requirements in restructures and reviewing the impact of State taxes and GST

And finally, we’ll bring everything together in a session which will look at which rollovers are best for what, discussing tips and traps and providing checklists.
