Case Study 1: Landholder Duty Restructure: Saving An Estimated $2.5 million
Circumstances / Situation
Our client owned and operated 12 pool centres through 12 different companies. To facilitate a capital raise and expansion of the business, they needed to interpose a holding company between the shareholders and the 12 subsidiaries.
Solution
We designed and implemented a restructure establishing the new holding company structure which qualified for capital gains tax and landholder duty relief. As part of this process, we successfully obtained corporate reconstruction landholder duty relief from the Queensland Revenue Office in respect of the restructure.
Outcome
The client was able to achieve their required group structure to facilitate growth without incurring landholder duty liabilities, saving an estimated $2.5 million.
Case Study 2: RTO Sale: Receiving Full Sale Amount in Cash
Circumstances / Situation
Our client was offered $10 million for the sale of their RTO organisation. They required taxation and structuring advice on the best way to structure the sale, and assistance with documenting and negotiating the sale terms.
Solution
We proposed the sale of the shares in the holding company rather than the trading company as this would secure a more manageable taxation outcome. We then assisted with structuring earnout payments to qualify for look-through earnout treatment and scrip for scrip rollover relief.
Following completion of the share sale, we negotiated on behalf of the client the early payment of the full earnout and release from post-completion obligations and scrip requirements.
Outcome
The client received the full $10 million of sale proceeds as cash rather than scrip in a tax-effective manner.
Case Study 3: Property Investor Estate Plans
Circumstances / Situation
Our clients in their individual names owned a portfolio of 54 investment properties. They wanted their estate plans to be appropriately recorded to ensure that their children were able to jointly control and benefit from the portfolio. This needed to occur in a way which achieved a favourable tax outcome and allowed for retention and re-investment to grow overall family wealth.
Solution
We structured and drafted bespoke testamentary trust wills which ensures the property portfolio passes into a structured trust environment that is also tax effective.
Outcome
The client’s specific estate planning objectives were achieved.
