We also took the opportunity to remind each other that any day can be R U OK? day.

Last week, we added our voice to the growing chorus of professional bodies calling for the Government to reconsider the proposed changes to minimum tax on discretionary trusts.

Equitability and neutrality are the tenets of a well-designed taxation system—and in our view, the proposed changes to trusts will result in outcomes that mark a departure from both.

Our submission to Treasury focuses on concerns around double taxation for corporate beneficiaries, practical barriers to restructuring, and unequal treatment of small businesses.

While we understand the purpose of these provisions, we believe refining the legislation to ensure businesses and individuals are not unfairly disadvantaged is paramount.
