Identify, manage and maximise the tax treatment of employment termination payments

Identifying payments that qualify for tax concessions
Navigating the ETP cap and whole of income cap rules
When directors can pay themselves a redundancy payment

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

While the employment termination payment (‘ETP’) rules changed to limit the concessional treatment of golden handshakes, there are still a wide range of situations where employees can qualify for tax offsets or tax-free treatment on payments made in relation to the termination of their employment. 

We also explore the rules dealing with genuine redundancy payments and consider some of the situations where employees can and cannot receive redundancy payments in a tax effective manner.

The ETPs & Redundancy Payments Webinar is a practical work through of the issues that every client facing adviser needs to know.

What we cover

We explore the process to classify payments received by employees in connection with the termination of their employment, and then identify the tax treatment of those payments.

It's important to understand the tax treatment of the most common payments that accompany employment termination events as well as understand the opportunities that might be available for clients to take advantage of the tax rules dealing with genuine redundancy payments.
