This event consisted of two substantive sessions - the first dealing with stamp duty and the second dealing with CGT. The first session explained the recent stamp duty changes and discussed the opportunities resulting from those changes. It also looked at the existing provisions and what application these may still have following the changes.
The second session focused primarily on the CGT implications of business and entity restructures, including a review of the tax liabilities that will potentially arise, and how such liabilities can be minimised or otherwise deferred through the application of rollover relief and/or the small business CGT concessions. The session also briefly examined the tax consolidation issues that are relevant to business restructures.
