Taxation of Companies:
A company is a separate legal entity and pays tax on its profits at a flat corporate rate:
- 25% for base rate entities (turnover under $50 million and 80% or less passive income).
- 30% for other companies.
Companies can retain profits for reinvestment, which is a major advantage for growing businesses. When profits are eventually distributed as dividends, they carry franking credits, which reduce double taxation for shareholders.
Key Tax Benefits of Companies:
- Retain Profits - Ability to retain profits at a lower tax rate for future growth.
- Franking credits - Franking Credits on dividends help reduce overall tax for shareholders.
- Asset Protection - Strong asset protection as a separate legal entity.
Limitations of Companies:
- No 50% CGT discount for companies.
- Losses are trapped in the company and can only be used in future years if continuity of ownership or business continuity tests are met.
- Division 7A rules apply to loans or benefits provided to shareholders or their associates.
Best for: Businesses planning to reinvest profits, scale operations, or limit personal liability.
