Recorded Webinar: Applying the CGT Small Business Concessions to the Sale of Business Premises

About the Webinar

On face value, a reading of section 152-40(4)(e) of ITAA 1997 appears to generally exclude an asset as being an active asset eligible for the small business CGT concessions, if the asset’s main use is to derive rent. However, common asset protection strategies incorporate business premises in one entity that receive rent from a business conducted in another entity. How are the business premises in these structures, and others, treated for small business CGT eligibility? This session explores the issues, including:

  • When can business premises be treated as an active asset when held in:
    • the entity conducting the business
    • a separate entity to the business (TD 2006/63)
  • What type of business premises and arrangements may satisfy the active asset test? (TD 2006/78)
  • How to satisfy the “connected entity” and “affiliates” tests where business premises are owned in a separate entity to that which conducts the business?
  • Can land used for storage be an active asset? (Eichmann v FC of T [2020] FAFC 155)
  • How is the active asset test applied if the land is only partially used for business purposes? (Rus v FC of T [2018] AATA 1854)
  • Can properties forming part of a residential letting business be classified as active assets? (Del Castillo v FC of T [2022] AATA 4233; PBR 1052110408869)
  • How the four CGT concessions can be applied to the sale of eligible business premises
  • Case studies:
    • a family business with business premises and trading operations in separate entities
    • two unrelated shareholders who sold their business, now selling the business premises owned jointly in a unit trust
