As 30 June 2017 is fast approaching, we would like to advise of some key tax changes that your business may be in a position to take advantage of before the end of the financial year.
During the year, the aggregated turnover threshold for small business entities was changed from $2m to $10m. For your business, the following changes can apply to your income tax calculation:
The increased $10m threshold will not be applicable for accessing the small business capital gains tax concessions.
The imputation system for corporate tax entities will now be based on the company’s corporate tax rate for a particular income year. This is worked out in regard to the entity’s aggregated turnover for the previous income year.
Therefore, with the change in the definition of small business above, an entity with between $2m and $10m in the 2015/16 income year can fully frank a distribution based on the tax rate of 27.5%.
Simpler BAS
Small businesses will have a simpler BAS after 1 July 2017. After this date, a small business (under $10m) will only need to report the following on a BAS:
If you have any concerns about how these changes will affect you, or about other matters relating to your tax, please do not hesitate to contact our office.
