A full month of ATO guidance, legislative movement, and case law has landed since the last update — and much of it will quietly shape the advice you give heading into the back half of the year.

Peter Adams presents the October Tax Update this Wednesday, pulling it all together in one focused hour and connecting each development to real client application.

✅ Recent ATO rulings and guidance
✅ Legislative and case law developments
✅ Practical application for client work

📅 Wednesday, 28 October 2026 — just two days away
⏰ 1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (AEDT)
🎓 1 hour of CPD

Our monthly tax updates also form the backbone of our Complete Tax CPD program — 40 CPD hours a year, a monthly update, and a masterclass every month — for accountants who want the full package handled in one place.

Live Q&A, recordings, and slides all included.

Why does every EET client need a different answer?
➡️ https://tinyurl.com/y3u7ytze

The EET election raises a question with no one-size-fits-all answer: what happens when the client sells?

Keep the election, revoke it, or restructure. Each path suits a different client, depending on profit, sale value and 15-year exemption eligibility.

Our EET Elections webinar, presented by Peter Johnson, works through a full sale scenario and gives you a clear framework to match each client to the right path. The session is less than four weeks away.

We’ll cover:
✅ Keeping the company as a fixed beneficiary through to the sale
✅ Revoking the election the year before the sale
✅ Restructuring when neither option fits
✅ Which concessions flow through the company to shareholders
✅ Using the retirement exemption through an interposed company
✅ When declining the 50% active asset reduction produces a better result
✅ A simple framework to decide early

What if the sale outcome is decided the day the election is made?
➡️ https://tinyurl.com/mr42r32s

Most EET election conversations focus on the 25% company rate. The sale of the business feels a long way off.

But the choice your client makes now affects how the gain on goodwill can be distributed later. The earlier you plan for it, the more options you keep open.

Our EET Elections webinar, presented by Peter Johnson, walks through a full sale scenario and compares three clear paths, so you can give confident advice from day one.

We’ll cover:
✅ Keeping the company as a fixed beneficiary through to the sale
✅ Revoking the election the year before the sale
✅ Restructuring when neither option fits
✅ Which concessions flow through the company to shareholders
✅ Using the retirement exemption through an interposed company
✅ When declining the 50% active asset reduction produces a better result
✅ A simple framework to decide early

Missed the trust tax session?
➡️ https://advisersdigest.com.au/30-percent-trust-tax

The recording of The New 30% Trust Tax is now available.

If your clients have discretionary trusts, they’re going to ask you about this. The recording walks through what’s actually in the exposure draft, including the election that can keep an existing trust outside the regime and the new fixed trust definition.

90 minutes, watch it when it suits you, and claim 1.5 hours of CPD.

✅ What the minimum tax actually costs, and why it is smaller than the coverage suggests
✅ The electable regime, the eligible company rules, and the automatic revocation cliff
✅ The capital-follows-income trap, worked through on a real exit
✅ The new fixed trust definition, which is the best news in the package
✅ Four destinations for a client’s trust, and what decides which one
✅ What to do before 1 July 2027, and before 1 July 2028

The New 30% Trust Tax — recording now available

Putting a business premises into an SMSF and claiming the small business CGT concessions at the same time.
➡️ https://tinyurl.com/4jzdemex

This week I’m working through what’s involved when a client wants to transfer a business property into their SMSF and apply the retirement exemption on the transfer. The two strategies can work together, but the sequencing and structuring requirements matter.

If you’re advising clients looking to use both the small business CGT concessions and their SMSF as part of a retirement strategy, this one’s worth watching before you map out the advice.

New AVV Video Vault episodes are released every fortnight, each based on real scenarios that regularly arise in practice.

One week to go until the October Tax Training Day in Sydney. Registrations are still open — but not for long.

➡️ https://taxtrainingday.com.au/

If PSI vs PSB, Professional Practice Streaming, or distributing small business gains out of a company are on your radar heading into the end of the year, this is the day to get properly across them. Karen Vella and Peter Johnson cover both topics in real depth, and Karen closes the day with a full Quarterly Tax Update.

Seven CPD hours. Great discussion throughout the day. And after-event drinks to close out 2026 in style.

One week. A few spots left. Worth locking in today.
