Amalgamation between companies is the process by which the companies combine to become one corporate entity. The process is set out in Pt 13 of the Companies Act 1993. The tax rules on amalgamations adopt not only the approach of ensuring minimal tax cost, but also an alternative regime providing for full taxation.

In this webinar we will review those tax rules, including:
• Review of the general tax treatment
• General rules for a resident’s restricted amalgamation
• The impact of amalgamation on
o Financial arrangements
o Depreciable property
o Land
o Income tax losses
o Imputation credits
The review will include a number of worked examples to illustrate the technical information

Upon satisfactory completion of this course, you will be able to:

• articulate the latest information affecting the income tax rules for amalgamations
• explain recent changes
• make better decisions about the use of amalgamations

Suited to:

• intermediates and above in public practice
• corporate accountants, and
• any chartered accountant wanting a review of the tax issues involved in amalgamations for their business and/or client businesses.
