How to avoid being targeted by the ATO

The new draft ‘risk zone’ compliance guidelines in practice
Specific problem areas to watch out for
Practical approach to applying the general anti-avoidance rules

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

In August 2024, the ATO released a draft practical compliance guideline on the potential application of Part IVA to arrangements where personal services income is derived through a company or trust.

The guideline outlines the factors that will be used to determine the new risk ratings to be classified as “low risk” and “higher risk”.

It’s vital for practitioners to understand the ATO’s approach to help clients make fully informed decisions on how to deal with profits generated from a personal services business. The Risk of Part IVA & Personal Services Income webinar is essential training on the implications of the draft guideline and Part IVA generally.

Clients who earn personal services income through a company or trust structure and who can pass the PSI tests often assume that they can split income with related parties or retain profits in a company. The ATO has made it clear that this isn’t necessarily the case and that Part IVA needs to be carefully considered.
