The sessions
01 GST & Reimbursements
12-1PM AEST Thursday 11th June, 2025.
When it comes to GST and reimbursements, a wide range of issues emerge. We will look at various examples, including employee expenses, disbursement of costs under supply contracts, and where costs are incurred by agents.
02 Forgiving a loan - is it caught by CDF or Div 7A?
12-1PM AEST Thursday 9th July, 2026.
A loan is written off. Simple in concept, but more complex in practice. The assessable recoupment rules, the CDF provisions and Div 7A are just the start of the possible taxing provisions to consider.
03 Trans-Tasman tax issues
12-1PM AEST Thursday 13th August, 2026.
While Australia and New Zealand are close neighbours, and have broadly similar tax regimes, the 'open' policies for Australians and New Zealanders to live and work in each other's country can trigger some interesting tax outcomes, particularly where trusts and deceased estates are involved.
04 Transfer pricing fundamentals
12-1PM AEST Thursday 10th September, 2026.
Transfer pricing is often thought to be a 'big business' issue, but it applies to all taxpayer international dealings. Here we will discuss the fundamental, including how to identify the risks and the documentation obligations.
05 Tax issues arising in running a Trust
12-1PM AEDT Thursday 8th October, 2026.
Trusts are unique taxpayers - each deed is different and they are as much a relationship as an entity. We look at issues tax agents need to manage and pitfalls to avoid.
06 Protecting your client, private ruling or RAP?
12-1PM AEDT Thursday 12th November, 2026.
In an environment where the ATO is more invested in its own position on client transactions, this session looks at tax risk, and what protection private rulings and reasonably arguable positions provide.
