Financial advisers often ask about the small business CGT concessions.
This comprehensive course walks you through the concessions, the issues and the complexities of the applying the concessions. And finally, how the proceeds flow.
A client’s ability to access the small business CGT concessions can significantly impact the way in which they manage the proceeds of the sale of business assets and their plans for those proceeds. While a financial adviser cannot (and should never be tempted to) give advice or an opinion on a client’s likelihood of accessing the concessions, planning is important. Access to the concessions can have a material impact on clients.
