If your ambitions include mergers and acquisitions or take you to other parts of the world, you will need to manage all tax implications for mergers and acquisitions, as well as the expatriate and international tax issues for the jurisdictions in which you plan to operate.
If you need to sell, there are tax implications dependent on your exit strategy, with capital gains rules to account for. Along the way, there are multiple incentives and rebates that are key to your cash flow and growth: from employee share schemes and government grants, to research and development incentives, GST and indirect tax, and other small business tax concessions.
And while your business lifecycle plays a key role in your tax profile, so too does your industry. Each sector has their own layer of tax to manage and incentives to tap into.
