Small Business CGT: The Poison Chalice in the New $10m Threshold

The Small Business CGT threshold has just jumped from $2m to $10m. Only one of the four Division 152 concessions actually moved, and it’s worth precisely nothing once your client sells out of a company. Reach for the wrong one on the strength of the headline and your client pays for it on exit.

The headline says $10m. The fine print says something else entirely.

Reach for the 15-year exemption on the strength of the headline and you’ll be wrong. Restructure a trust into a company at the wrong moment and you can hand your client a seven-figure tax bill on exit — with a hard 1 July 2027 deadline quietly ticking behind it.

!

In this session Peter goes straight from the announcement to the statute: what genuinely changed, the traps waiting for the unwary, and exactly how to advise the clients asking you about this right now — with live client files and a take-home Excel model you can run against any client’s numbers.

One hour. Everything the change means in practice.

1

The one concession that moved

Which of the four Division 152 concessions actually changed — and the three that didn’t, so you stop quoting the wrong threshold to clients.

2

The 1 July 2027 deadline

The reset date that decides whether an exit costs your client $705k or $2.1m — and what needs to happen before it arrives.

3

Live files + Excel model

Real cases from the inbox, worked through structure by structure, plus a downloadable model to run your own client scenarios on the spot.

Built for accountants advising real clients

Accountants advising small business clients in the $2m–$10m turnover range.

Practitioners who need this hour of CPD and want it to be genuinely useful.

Peter is the founder of Advisers Digest and one of Australia’s most sought-after educators on SMSF and tax for practising accountants. He has spent his career translating dense technical change into advice accountants can actually act on with clients.

In this session he takes the Small Business Concessions change head-on — walking through the impact on each structure and what it means for restructuring decisions, in the direct, practical style Advisers Digest members have come to rely on.

What we’ll cover

Peter goes straight from the announcement to the statute — with live client files and a take-home Excel model you can run against any client’s numbers.

In this one focused hour:

  • Which of the four concessions actually changed — and the three that didn’t, so you stop quoting the wrong threshold
  • The poison chalice: why the 50% reduction dies at the shareholder level in a company — the s 47, TD 2001/14 and CGT event C2 chain, worked through in plain English
  • The 1 July 2027 reset: the deadline that decides whether an exit costs your client $705k or $2.1m
  • Two real cases from the inbox: the 15-year-exemption client who doesn’t qualify, and the “$12m turnover” client who actually does
  • Restructure or stay put? Five routes compared — stay a trust, roll, sell, loan-back, buy-back, debt recycling and licensing — with the s 45B, Division 725, s 100A and Part IVA traps flagged on each
  • Dividend access shares: the flexibility no rollover will give you — and where Ierna & Hicks now draws the line on s 45B
  • The break-even: when selling into a company beats staying a trust — with a downloadable model to run your own client scenarios
  • Division 119 and the new CGT order: where the 30% minimum tax actually bites

This session is built around live client files. Peter takes it structure by structure and shows you exactly how it plays out in practice — so you leave with something you can apply the moment a client asks. Every attendee gets the take-home Excel model to run their own scenarios.

The clients this affects most — those in the $2m to $10m turnover range — are the ones who ask you before they sell, before they restructure, before they commit. They assume you already know.

One hour now makes sure you do.
