Paying tax is difficult enough when it is compulsory. How much worse is it when it could easily have been avoided by using tax concessions available in many circumstances when your client's marriage or other domestic relationship ends? This seminar paper looks at the available concessions and their practical application. It also examines the new superannuation splitting rules. It includes:
- CGT rollovers
- stamp duty (for all states and territories)
- GST issues (for shared business assets)
- superannuation splitting
- planning
- what if both fighting parties are your clients?
