Small Business

Almost all large businesses commenced at some time as a small business. Small Business is generally defined in Australia as being a business with turnover less than $2million. Small businesses receive tax concessions not available to other businesses. This includes:

  • The ability to report on a cash basis rather than complex accrual methods
  • Attractive depreciation deductions
  • Generous capital gains tax concessions for later disposal of the business.
