About the Webinar

When buying a business that is operated by a company an important consideration is whether the buyer should purchase the shares of the company comprising the business or the assets out of the company itself. A key driver of this decision is often taxation implications. This session provides an overview of the taxation implications of share versus asset sales, with a focus on how these decisions have become increasingly vulnerable to attack on the basis of anti-avoidance rules. It covers:

  • The options for implementation of sale structures having regard to anti-avoidance measures in a share sale vs asset sale (including dealing with assessments and justifying share over an asset sale)
  • The recent shift in focus of revenue offices at state level and the growing rise of anti-avoidance activity
  • The tax avoidance characteristics of the sale structure drawing the current attention of the ATO, when to expect a structure to be attacked and how to best respond if it does
