This is not your “standard” year-end planning session! 

run of cases in the Courts on trusts in 2022 has prompted many professionals to consider whether asset structuring and asset protection strategies of the past (including companies and trusts) are still relevant. This session will explore:

  • The effectiveness of gift and loan back arrangements following the decision in Re Permewan No. 2 [2022] QSC 114.

Part 3: What’s Up Doc? - Payroll Tax and medical professionals – amnesties, exemptions and grouping

Following the outcome of recent cases, rulings and the announcement of potential exemptions and amnesties, payroll tax for medical practitioners is currently a very pertinent tax issue for a legal/accounting practice with medical clients. This session will cover the current state of play in this area, what practices are affected and practical considerations for clients. Despite the recent focus on contractors and billing practices, it is also important to remember that payroll tax grouping remains an ongoing issue and this session will also look at common grouping issues in medical practices.

Part 5: Passing the baton (not the tax issues)

Many private and family-owned businesses will transition to next generation ownership or be sold in the next few years. Effective succession planning is a complex process that raises many potentially difficult issues, including tax. While the plan may not trigger immediate tax consequences, a well-thought out plan should assist in avoiding any unintended consequences when the plan is implemented. This session will highlight:

  • Change of control – now vs later, and how will the successor obtain control. The availability of tax concessions, impact on pre-CGT assets, availability of tax losses
  • Consideration for the transfer – market value substitution rules, CGT value-shifting, buy-sell agreements, use of insurance to fund a buy-out, funding issues (ie Div7A, debt forgiveness)
  • Restructures to facilitate transfer of assets or operations, including share-buy backs, dividend stripping
  • Other strategies to facilitate the plan, including use of option agreements, lease or licence of business assets.

Michelle Hartman, CTA, PwC
