5. Frequently Asked Questions

What is Division 7A, and how does it affect family businesses?

Division 7A prevents private company profits from being distributed to shareholders or associates tax-free as loans or gifts. If a transaction is deemed a dividend, it is taxed at the individual's marginal tax rate. We ensure all shareholder loans are documented with complying interest rates and repayment terms.

How do you prepare clients for an ATO tax audit?

We run pre-audit reviews to check transaction records, review historical tax filings, identify potential risk areas (such as unexplained transfer pricing or contractor deductions), and prepare documentation files before the ATO begins their formal review.

Are your risk consulting services compliant with ISO standards?

Yes, all our risk assessments, compliance reviews, and governance audits align with the principles of ISO 31000 (Risk Management Standard), adapted for the Australian corporate context.

What is the difference between tax evasion and tax planning?

Tax planning involves organizing your financial affairs within the legal boundaries of tax law to minimize tax liability. Tax evasion involves using illegal methods (such as concealing income or falsifying records) to avoid paying tax. BDN only provides complying tax advisory and planning services.
