Selling a business was already a big decision. Since the Federal Budget, it has become an even bigger tax planning conversation.

With proposed CGT changes from 1 July 2027, business owners are now asking what a future sale could mean for them, and whether the timing of that sale matters.

The answer will depend on what is being sold, how the business is structured, and whether small business CGT concessions may apply.

For eligible business owners, these concessions can make a significant difference. But they need to be considered early, before a sale agreement is signed.

If selling, retiring or succession planning is on your radar, this article explains what you need to understand first.

Taxation > This article breaks down the essentials of small business CGT concessions, helping you know which ones you may be eligible for and how they might benefit your business.
