Licensing in agribusiness - the hidden traps presentation

Published on 06 May 05 by SOUTH AUSTRALIAN DIVISION, THE TAX INSTITUTE

Consulting to primary producers involves more than advice on land, livestock and equipment transactions. With the use of case studies and examples, this presentation details some of the practical problems involving intangible assets within the agribusiness industry, including the CGT, GST and stamp duty issues.

It examines the topical issues of the purchase, transfer and sale of:

• water licences
• rock lobster/fishing licences
• trademarks.

The presentation also provides insight into the treatment of the leasing of various primary production assets including licences and vineyards.
