Property Subdivision Series 2026
How to advise on the tax and GST treatment of subdivision projects
Navigating the revenue / capital distinction
Reduce the risk of an ATO challenge
Managing the tax consequences in practice
A Live Instructor-Led 2-Part Web Series
As the urban sprawl continues in most major Australian cities, practitioners are often asked to advise on the tax treatment of subdivision projects. Before clients jump in and commit to anything, it is important to understand the tax liabilities that might arise from these projects.
Unfortunately, many clients make incorrect assumptions about the way their project will be taxed, often believing that any tax exposure will be minimal. However, the reality is that there are a number of important tax issues that need to be considered and that could have a significant impact on the overall profitability of the project.
The Property Subdivision Web Series delivers the knowledge you need to work with and advise clients initiating subdivision projects.
