Case StudyWally is 49 years old and owns a engineering business. He is sole director and shareholder of the company Big Steel Pty Ltd. He has run the company for 12 years. The business has steadily grown. Turnover is around $1.5M and he employs 5 staff. After 12 years of hard work, working up to 70 hours a week he wants sell the business and spend 12 months travelling around Australia with his family. He has been offered $2.2M for the business. This price includes the goodwill and plant and equipment of the business.

Scenario OneWally's company Big Steel Pty Ltd sells the plant, equipment and goodwill for $2.4M. The company applies the small business 50% active asset reduction and includes a taxable capital gain of $1.2M in its tax return. The company pays $360,000 in company tax on the disposal of the business.

Scenario TwoWally's company Big Steel Pty Ltd sells the plant, equipment and goodwill for $2.4M. The company applies the small business 50% active asset reduction and on advice from his accountant he chooses to apply small business retirement exemption by contributing $500,000 to his self managed superannuation fund. The taxable capital gain in Big Steel Pty Ltd is $700,000 –

Sale price $2.4MLess active asset reduction $1.2M

Assessable capital gain $1.2MLess small bus. Retirement exemption $0.5M

Taxable amount $0.7M Company tax payable would be $210,000.

Scenario ThreeInstead of Wally selling the assets in his company he negotiates to sell his shares in the company. This allows Wally to apply the 50% general CGT discount as well as the 50% active asset reduction. He can also again use the small business retirement exemption.

Scenario Three ctdSale price $2.4MLess 50% general CGT discount $1.2MLess active asset reduction $0.6M

Assessable capital gain $0.6MLess small bus. Retirement exemption $0.5M

Taxable amount $0.1M

Assuming Wally pays tax at the top marginal rate he would pay just $46,500 in tax
