Complimentary technical paper for April - 'I think (I'm a small business), therefore I am. Know your thresholds!'

Each month, members of The Tax Institute can access a complimentary, recently-published technical paper that provides up-to-date information on a relevant issue for tax professionals.

April’s paper was I think (I’m a small business), therefore I am. Know your thresholds!  by Ross Prosper CTA, Director at Bentleys.

Prosper suggests that business owners need to have a clear understanding of whether or not they can define their enterprise as a ‘small business’ for tax purposes.

Qualifying as a small business can make a significant difference to their tax affairs. It allows various tax rollovers, concessions and exemptions that would otherwise not apply. However, the definition of a small business is complex.

Ultimately, it’s important to review the rules in full, and to have a complete understanding of the business owner’s entire group structure and operations in order to ensure the business meets the definition of a small business.

The purpose of the paper is to ensure that the business owner understands the business entity tests, grouping rules and required thresholds to be a Small Business Entity. The paper further explores the grouping rules and required thresholds to meet the Maximum Net Asset Value Test for access to the small business CGT concessions.
