Tenth Annual Business and Property Tax Conference

It’s been a busy time for taxation practitioners. The corporate tax rate remains in a state of flux, while Division 7A complexities continue to grow. Meanwhile, the demand from business owners for advice to maximise the small business CGT concessions continues, with baby boomer business owners seeking advice about getting their business ready for sale. At the same time, the taxation of trusts remains under the spotlight, with the High Court’s recent decision in Thomas and the ATO’s release of two important rulings. This year’s conference deals with all of these issues, as well as other key challenges facing practitioners today.
