About This Course

Although the qualifying company (“QC”) regime was superseded by the look-through company regime on 1 April 2011, qualifying companies existing at that date continue to operate under the QC regime. This is the first of two webinars examining the taxation of QCs.

This webinar will provide a refresher on the QC regime.

This webinar will examine

  • What is a qualifying company?
  • The special rules applying to distributions from QCs and when such distributions are tax exempt 
  • When debits arise to a QC imputation credit account 
  • Restrictions on utilisation of group loss offsets
  • Income tax issues that arise when a QC is wound up

Qualifying Companies Part 2 – Managing the Risks

Although the qualifying company (“QC”) regime was superseded by the look-through company regime on 1 April 2011, qualifying companies existing at that date continue to operate under the QC regime. This is the second of two webinars examining the taxation of QCs.

To remain a qualifying company, it is necessary to satisfy a number of requirements and it is easy to inadvertently breach these requirements. Such a breach could have significant adverse tax consequences for the affected shareholders and creates potential risk of a claim against their advisers.

This webinar will examine the requirements a company must continue to satisfy to remain a qualifying company and strategies for managing the associated risk, including:

  • Shareholder count requirements 
  • Continuity requirements
  • Re-election requirements on shareholding changes 
  • Restrictions on CFC and FIF interests, and foreign non-dividend income
  • Requirements on trustee shareholders to distribute dividend income 

Suited to:

This webinar is intended for accountants whose client base includes qualifying companies. It will provide the experienced practitioner with a refresher on the criteria a QC must satisfy to remain a QC , as well as providing newer (or not so new) practitioners with the knowledge they require to work with qualifying companies and ensure their clients do not inadvertently fall out of the regime.
