The Hon. Josh Frydenberg MP, the Assistant Treasurer opened the Forum and the event also included a leading international expert on tax law and policy, Professor Miranda Stewart, CTA, who discussed tax reform from the perspective of best practice transfer policy.
Broadly:
- the SME stream covered issues from trusts and Div 7A to sessions focusing on exiting a business (whether to a trade buyer or to the next generation), and managing Part IVA risks
- the Corporate stream touched on everything from TP documentation and country by country reporting, to FBT tips and tricks on transport, food and accommodation, tax and valuation issues when structuring a transaction and related duty issues when dealing with interests in land.
Teresa Dyson, CTA, closed the forum with a critique of the reform agenda.
