Tax Updates for Accountants

This bundle is designed to help accountants navigate the latest tax, legal, and compliance developments affecting Australian businesses and their clients. It focuses on the practical knowledge needed to manage increasingly complex regulatory requirements, respond to heightened ATO and state revenue authority scrutiny, and provide effective tax planning and advisory support. Learners will develop a deeper understanding of high-risk tax areas while strengthening their ability to identify compliance issues, assess risk, and support defensible client positions.

The training explores practical applications across business structuring, property transactions, loss utilization, state taxes, and professional ethics. Key areas include Personal Services Income and Part IVA anti-avoidance rules, trust loss utilization and family trust elections, GST adjustments arising from changes in property use, and the tax treatment of family property settlements, including CGT, Division 7A, and latent tax liabilities. It also covers SME tax planning and structure optimization, R&D tax incentive compliance, substantiating eligible activities and preparing for ATO and AusIndustry reviews, as well as payroll tax grouping, contractor and labour hire provisions, multi-state compliance, and relevant case law. Through practical scenarios, legislative updates, and risk mitigation strategies, participants will learn how to apply these rules in real-world situations and deliver robust, compliant tax and advisory services.
