Companies
A company is a separate legal entity created for the purposes of business activity. There are two types of enterprise that are possible, and these are a proprietary company and a public company. A proprietary company has shareholders up to a maximum of 50 and is limited by its shares, it must have at least one director appointed. A public company must have at least 3 directors appointed and has no limit to how many shareholders own it. It can be listed or unlisted on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX).
For both proprietary and public company shareholders, liability is limited to the nominal amount of their shares, so no individual’s assets are personally liable. The tax rate for a company is between 26% to 30%. This is lower than 45% (plus 2% Medicare levy) which is the highest tax rate for an individual in Australia, therefore, a company structure may be a more viable option for individuals who reach this bracket.
A company structure is more complex than other types of business structures and there is more involved in winding it down. A company has a unique Tax File Number as well as its registered Australian Business Number.
Trusts
A Trust is an obligation imposed on an individual or company to hold property or assets for the benefit of others. The holder of the trust is called the Trustee and the others are Beneficiaries. Trusts are not at a separate entity therefore liability lies with the Trustee. The Trustee is responsible for all business operations and there are yearly administrative tasks to complete. All transactions are undertaken by the Trustee and all are therefore a personal obligation.
A Trust is a more expensive business structure to set up, but there are benefits to working within this model. The Trustee can be employed by the Trust, and there can be employees. Income Tax doesn’t need to be paid for this structure as an entity but is passed on to beneficiaries however, GST may be applicable. Tax-free capital gains and tax incentives can be claimed by the beneficiaries should the structure be set up to allow this. A Trust requires an official Trust Deed to be completed by a qualified accountant or business lawyer.
There are two types of trusts and they are a Unit Trust and a Discretionary Trust. Unit Trusts are fixed, and Discretionary Trusts are not fixed. Beneficiaries of a Unit Trust are similar to shareholders in a company, beneficiaries can be referred to as Unit Holders. In this model, the beneficiaries hold the beneficial assets in the trust assets. A discretionary trust allows the Trustee to determine distributions for the Beneficiaries.
As with other types of Australian business structures, an annual tax return must be lodged and a tax file number must be obtained. If the trust is carrying on an enterprise or business activity in Australia, then an Australian Business Number registration must be obtained as well.
