Small business CGT concessions: The Grouping Rules & Other Essential Concepts

Recorded live 11 Mar 2025

$190.91 +GST

Before applying the basic conditions to access the small business CGT concessions, it’s important to work through the various grouping rules. Understanding these rules is vital as they can have a significant impact on whether an asset can pass the active asset test, whether a taxpayer can pass the $6m net asset value test, and whether a taxpayer can pass the $2m turnover test.

We also explain the concepts of a significant individual and CGT concession stakeholder and what this means in practice. These are relevant whenever a company or trust wants to apply the retirement exemption or 15 year exemption or whenever a taxpayer is selling shares in a company or units in a trust.

This session works through a series of practical issues accountants & advisers face including:

  • The control rules that apply to companies, partnerships, fixed trusts and discretionary trusts;
  • What the courts have said about applying the control tests to discretionary trusts;
  • The special rules that can apply when the control percentage is between 40% and 50%;
  • How to determine whether an entity is an affiliate of another entity;
  • The special rules that apply to spouses and how this can make the difference between accessing the concessions and missing out altogether;
  • How to determine whether someone is a significant individual or CGT concession stakeholder of a company or trust; and
  • How different share classes can make life very difficult and what can be done about it.
