- Active asset issues
- Is a business being carried on?
- For land, must the whole of the land be active?
- Partnership issues
- General law partnership versus tax law partnership
- Identifying the asset that is being sold – is it an “interest in an asset of a partnership”
- Replacement asset issues
- What are the timing rules for contributions to super when CGT event J5 or J6 occurs?
- Does CGT event J2 occur if the owner of the replacement asset dies? Can section 152-80 offer relief?
- Other discrete issues
- How do the CGT look-through earn-out rules affect the small business CGT concessions; and
- Is liquidating a company to distribute a 152-C amount always a good option.
