Last week the ATO issued a Taxpayer Alert, stating that they are reviewing arrangements where individuals are avoiding tax by receiving private company profits through interposed entities.
The insertion of an interposed company for commercial reasons such as asset protection, tax consolidation, or to attract new investors, is fairly common practice. Generally, such arrangements will not be the subject of this review, given they would not have a dominant purpose of tax avoidance.
However, we suggest that you ensure contemporaneous documentation and evidence exists to support its commercial reasoning, since arrangements may be reviewed for any of the following:
When taking on new clients who appear to have any of the above features, always ensure to ask questions and obtain all relevant information, including previous advice and documentation to determine the inherited risk and best course of action for the client as part of this Taxpayer Alert.
Generally, Part IVA should always be a consideration where undertaking restructures, or utilising CGT rollovers, and proper care should be taken in documenting the purpose of the transaction/s.
