21st National Convention: Beyond the Sea

Source: National

Published Date: 5 Apr 2006

 
After the waves of tax reform over the past two decades it is time to go beyond the seas of change and reflect on key fundamental issues consolidating our knowledge.

Three streams and over 25 technical sessions were offered at the convention. Topics catered for many areas and levels of knowledge.

The SME Hot Topics stream focussed on topics that affect SME clients, and included sessions on discretionary trusts, non-resident beneficiaries of trusts, superannuation, going forward with or from service trusts, the key changes in the last 12 months impacting on structuring for SME clients and loans.

The corporate issues stream focussed on a number of issues of specific interest to corporates including the ATO's areas of issue in consolidation, international tax reform, employee share plans and offshore expansion among others.

The dealing with assets and property stream covered areas which are of interest to many practitioners including GST and CGT issues associated with assets/property and transactions affecting them, market value and why it is so important, the provisions that the proposed Division 250 is not replacing intangible property and lastly capital allowances.
