2015 Queensland Tax Forum

Published on 27 Aug 2015 | Took place at Brisbane Marriott Hotel, Brisbane, QLD

This event included both corporate and SME streams and comprehensively considered the Federal Government’s tax reform agenda.

The Hon. Josh Frydenberg MP, the Assistant Treasurer opened the Forum and the event also included a leading international expert on tax law and policy, Professor Miranda Stewart, CTA, who discussed tax reform from the perspective of best practice transfer policy.

Broadly:

  • the SME stream covered issues from trusts and Div 7A to sessions focusing on exiting a business (whether to a trade buyer or to the next generation), and managing Part IVA risks
  • the Corporate stream touched on everything from TP documentation and country by country reporting, to FBT tips and tricks on transport, food and accommodation, tax and valuation issues when structuring a transaction and related duty issues when dealing with interests in land.

Teresa Dyson, CTA, closed the forum with a critique of the reform agenda.
