Companies

There are many advantages of having companies involved in various capacities within your business structure, whether as a corporate trustee, a corporate beneficiary or as a straight-up corporate trading entity. Companies pay a flat tax rate of 30% on profits, and can distribute these profits to shareholders via the dividend imputation system with franked dividends. Companies can also access various tax concessions such as those for research and development. However there are also several pitfalls which companies must be careful of, such as regulations restricting loans to shareholders and capital gains tax dangers. Getting the right advice regarding your company from day 1 is vital.
