CGT Considerations When Selling a Business in Ipswich
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is one of the most important considerations for business owners thinking about selling. Depending on your structure, ownership period and eligibility, you may be able to access CGT concessions such as the 15-year exemption, 50% active asset reduction, retirement exemption or rollover provisions.
Tax laws, including proposed federal changes, can affect how much you keep from a sale. Given the uncertainty around future changes, many owners are choosing to get a valuation and understand their options before the new financial year.
