Goodwin Chivas & Co. Newsletter, October 2012

Welcome to our October newsletter. This month we provide an update on changes to the fuel tax credit scheme.

Our feature article, Will Your Business Survive? looks in depth at succession planning, business protection planning and buy/sell agreements to help businesses prepare for the involuntary exit of an owner or key personnel.

The ATO now has an assistance package for small businesses experiencing short-term financial difficultiesand we outline how you may access this assistance.

We also summarise the new obligations and responsibilities for trustees of Self Managed Superannuation Funds.

You can read the articles by selecting them from the menu at your left or click on the links in the text above.

Our aim is to make better use of your time and keep you updated on matters affecting your business and family life. If you have any questions from any of the articles please contact your Manager or Partner at Goodwin Chivas & Co.
