Description

Small Business CGT Changes - Should You Sell Out? With tax changes on the horizon, small business owners often ask if they should sell before new rules take effect. As a business owner myself, the answer is no. If you enjoy what you do and your business is growing and profitable, continue building that value. Having a significant capital gain in the future simply means your business has succeeded, and paying tax on that growth is a good problem to have. Small business owners also have powerful concessions available, including the active asset exemption, the retirement exemption, and the 15-year exemption. When structured alongside specialist advice, holding active assets for over 15 years can provide an incredible tax-free outcome in retirement. Focus on running a great business today and let the capital gains tax take care of itself down the track. General Advice Only.
