Don’t let complex tax laws erode your company’s hard-earned profits.
You know that closing a solvent company involves complex tax considerations. The interaction between capital gains tax, deemed dividends, and Division 7A rules creates a minefield of potential costly mistakes. Without expert guidance, you could pay significantly more tax than necessary.
We will thoroughly analyse your company’s position, model different distribution scenarios, and identify all available tax concessions. We’ll provide clear, actionable advice on structuring your MVL to achieve the most tax-effective outcome while maintaining full compliance.
You’ve built value in your company through years of hard work and smart decisions. The tax system shouldn’t penalise you when it’s time to realise that value. You deserve to retain the maximum benefit from your business success.
You’re a successful business owner or director who has built substantial value in your company. You’ve navigated complex business challenges and now face the decision to wind up your profitable company. Your company has served its purpose – perhaps the business has been sold, assets realised, or you’re restructuring. You have accumulated profits and valuable assets to distribute, but you’re concerned about the tax implications of different distribution methods.
Without proper tax planning, what should be a straightforward company closure could trigger unexpected tax liabilities. The difference between good and poor tax structuring in an MVL can be hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary tax.
Complex tax rules shouldn’t diminish your business success.
You need to wind up your solvent company and distribute its accumulated wealth to shareholders in the most tax-effective manner possible.
Without expert tax advice on your MVL, you risk:
-
-
- Triggering deemed dividends taxed at marginal rates instead of concessional capital gains rates;
- Falling foul of Division 7A provisions;
- Missing critical tax elections and concessions;
- Facing ATO scrutiny or audit; and
- Ultimately paying far more tax than legally necessary.
