Breadth and depth

Tax advice is what Hayes Knight’s specialist tax advice team do. It’s not something on the side, it’s practical problem solving, providing a path forward for your client for their particular scenario.

Some of the areas where can assist with include:

  • Structures and restructures that are commercially and goal aware
  • Managing capital gains - small business CGT concessions, rollover relief, etc.,
  • Tax consolidation to achieve tax efficiency for a business group
  • Division 7A compliance and loan structuring
  • Employee share schemes and incentives for employees
  • Exit and divestment strategy and planning
  • Tax implications of death, divorce or succession
  • Pre-sale or pre-investment planning
  • International & cross border structures and the interplay with Australian taxation  
  • ATO private binding ruling and objections -viability, application through to resolution.

 

Tax advice is not all we do. See our valuation and transaction services.

Value-driven pricing

Tax advice should deliver value.

We deliver practical, clear advice on your client's options, the pathway forward, and solutions to untangle complicated situations through transparent, value driven pricing.

Capital gains tax advice

Capital gains tax is a technically demanding area of Australian tax law, and getting more complex over time.

Navigating these provisions can be challenging and carries real risks – the risk that clients pay more CGT than they should often at a pivotal point in their lives, the risk of poor advice exposing clients to ATO scrutiny and the denial of claims, and professional risks.

Hayes Knight have significant experience in capital gains tax advice. We can assist your clients to successfully navigate:

  • Small business CGT concessions
  • Restructures and rollover relief
  • Main residence exemption issues
  • CGT and managing inheritances

 

International & cross border

Reducing the friction of cross border operations and transactions requires knowledge and experience.

A few common problem areas we tackle include:

  • Tax residency of offshore subsidiaries
  • Tax residency of individuals
  • Transfer pricing
  • Controlled Foreign Company (CFC)
  • Transfer of funds from foreign trusts
  • Foreign residents selling Australian assets
