Insurance-funded business succession
Source: Taxation In Australia Journal Article
Published Date: 1 Mar 2015
Succession planning is a critical issue for any jointly owned business, and the unexpected exit of a principal can have adverse ramifications for the business. Appropriate structured insurance funding can be an important step in mitigating these risks. Changes were recently made to the type of total and permanent disablement insurance policies which can be owned through superannuation. Total and permanent disablement policies commonly feature in insurance-funded buy"sell agreements. The purpose of this article is to review the various ways in which these agreements can be structured.
The article considers how most insurance-funded buy"sell agreements operate, the alternatives available when determining how the insurance policies should be owned, and the taxation consequences of the different ownership approaches.
