About the Webinar

When selling a business housed in a company, the question needs to be addressed as to whether it is the assets or the shares that should be sold. Whilst there are numerous commercial considerations that will no doubt need to be negotiated, this session drills down on the tax issues that affect the seller, including:

  • Capital gains tax comparisons of a share or asset sale, including:
    • the 50% discount
    • the small business CGT concessions and the additional requirements for share sales
  • The type of assets that do and don’t attract the CGT concessions
  • Has temporary full expensing had an impact on the share/asset sale decision making?
  • How non asset amounts can affect the tax equations for the share/asset sale alternative, including:
    • company liabilities
    • employee provisions
  • What if the company has carried forward losses?
  • Is there an opportunity for CGT rollovers to be utilised?
  • GST implications and when the use of the GST-free supply of a going concern treatment can apply
  • Case study highlighting a share/asset sale comparison
