Are your company profits trapped by Division 7A?

You know how frustrating it is when you have substantial profits sitting in your company, but you’re worried that accessing them might trigger Division 7A and create an unexpected tax bill?

The rules seem impossibly complex, and the penalties for getting it wrong are severe. We will thoroughly analyse your company structure and transactions, identify any Division 7A issues, and implement proper documentation and strategies.

We’ll ensure you can access your profits through compliant loan agreements, repayment arrangements, or restructuring options that keep you on the right side of the tax law.

 

You’ve taken the risks, built a successful business, and accumulated wealth through years of hard work. The government shouldn’t trap you with complex rules that prevent you from accessing your own money.

Business owners should be able to benefit from their success without fear of inadvertent tax penalties.

You’re a successful business owner who has built substantial profits in your company through strategic decisions and calculated risks. You need to access company funds for personal use, property investments, or to support other ventures. However, you’re aware that Division 7A could turn these transactions into deemed dividends, creating immediate tax liabilities.

The complexity of the rules and severity of penalties has you frozen, unable to use your own wealth effectively. Without proper Division 7A planning, a simple loan from your company or use of company assets could trigger deemed dividends at your marginal tax rate, plus potential penalties and interest charges. The ATO is actively reviewing private company loans and payments, and ignorance of the rules is no defence.

 

Your success shouldn’t become a tax trap.

You need to access the profits you’ve accumulated in your company without triggering Division 7A deemed dividends.

Ignoring Division 7A requirements can result in loans and payments being treated as unfranked dividends, taxed at your marginal rate. The ATO can review transactions from previous years, applying penalties and interest charges. Worse still, improperly documented arrangements can unravel your entire tax planning strategy, costing hundreds of thousands in unexpected tax.

    Your pathway to Division 7A compliance.

    We eliminate the anxiety and confusion around Division 7A by providing clear, actionable advice tailored to your specific situation. We implement compliant loan agreements, ensure minimum yearly repayments are met, document all transactions properly, and restructure arrangements where necessary to avoid deemed dividends.

    You can confidently access your company profits knowing every transaction is properly documented and Division 7A compliant. You can focus on growing your wealth rather than worrying about tax traps.
