How to advise on the tax and GST treatment of subdivision projects  

–  

Navigating the revenue / capital distinction  

Reduce the risk of an ATO challenge  

Managing the tax consequences in practice  

–  

As the urban sprawl continues in most major Australian cities, practitioners are often asked to advise on the tax treatment of subdivision projects. Before clients jump in and commit to anything, it is important to understand the tax liabilities that might arise from these projects.  

Unfortunately, many clients make incorrect assumptions about the way their project will be taxed, often believing that any tax exposure will be minimal. However, the reality is that there are a number of important tax issues that need to be considered and that could have a significant impact on the overall profitability of the project.  

The Property Subdivision Web Series delivers the knowledge you need to work with and advise clients initiating subdivision projects.  

What we cover  

The Property Subdivision Web Series walks you through the tax and GST implications of subdivision projects – essential training for any client-facing accountant.
