An update on capital management issues
Source: The Tax Specialist Journal Article
Published Date: 1 Aug 2015
Any capital management strategy carries a number of taxation implications which should be carefully considered before implementation of the strategy. This article considers some current key tax issues associated with common and topical capital management strategies, including the tax treatment of returns on certain funding instruments following the Mills case, share buy-backs, including the implications of the decision in the Consolidated Media Holdings case and the status of proposed reforms, debt buy-backs, and certain debt/equity issues.
The article discusses common capital management tax issues for general corporate taxpayers. There are specific tax issues that can arise for authorised deposit-taking institutions, that is, banks and other financial institutions, which are outside the scope of the article. The author concludes with a recommendation that tax teams ensure that time for obtaining advice around the issues (including ATO rulings where appropriate) is factored into the timetable for execution of capital management strategies.
