NSW State Convention: Getting it right...and keeping it right

Published on 25 May 2006 | Took place at Pepper Fairmont Resort, Blue Mountains, NSW

This year’s Convention brought together premier tax speakers to provide a unique opportunity to comprehensively address the tax issues (and opportunities!) associated with business structures.

We know service trusts are under attack, but how serious is it, and how do you re-structure if you need to? Are the demerger provisions going to get you safely home? The Commissioner is always looking at loans - is it safe to go back into the water after the at-call loans dramas? And what about other loans? Have we really covered all the Division 7A exposure? Other sessions explored superannuation and the emerging GST issues for property development.
