It’s been a busy time for taxation advisers. The ATO has waged a war on trusts, the future Division 7A continues to remain uncertain, while changes to the company tax rate continue to case compliance headaches. Meanwhile, the demand from business owners for advice to maximise the small business CGT concessions continues, with baby boomer business owners preparing to retire and seeking advice about getting their business ready for sale. At the same time, we’re seeing complex cross border and residency issues come to the fore. This year’s conference deals with all of these issues, as well as other key challenges facing tax advisers today.
