Walk through the types of business structures: sole trader, partnerships, proprietary limited companies and light touch on family trusts

• Tax implications for each of the structures: income tax rates, company tax rates, franking credits and compliance (tax returns, partnership tax returns, company tax returns, FBT etc)

• Why business owners need to plan out their goals and let that drive the structure.

• Business decisions impact tax outcomes

• How the tax ties in with business strategy.

Decisions on industry, products, pricing and tools impact your profitability and therefore your tax liabilities and when it falls due.
