Buying or selling a business is significant for both the buyer and seller. Tax is treated differently depending on whether the sale involves assets or shares. Both asset and share sales can be a mix of taxable and non-taxable parts.
It’s important to set up your business sale or purchase the right way so that you:
- pay the right amount of tax
- get the right after-sale profits and tax benefits (like GST refunds, claiming depreciation or allowable expenses against your income).
The information here is a general overview of common tax issues you should be aware of.
Getting these wrong can lead to an unexpected tax bill, so it’s best to talk early with a professional tax advisor to make sure you get the details of your sale right from the start.
