Microbusinesses will grow into small businesses which in turn expand into large businesses and, with a touch of luck and good management, will become very large businesses. This paper focuses on topics such as:
- Restructuring to better suit the owners' changing circumstances
- The income tax and GST implications of restructuring
- Creating better structures using CGT rollovers, exemptions and demergers
- Stampy duty - the great impediment.
