24.01.2022 Has the focus on ‘innovation’ disappeared from the Scott Morrison Government? Malcolm Turnbull’s vision to rejuvenate innovation was very clear to the Australian public.

21.01.2022 The enemy to the good in family law is long wait times [and] large legal fees Attorney-General Christian Porter The Turnbull Government has recently introduced plans to combine the Family Court with the Federal Circuit Court. The historically underfunded family law system is flooded with over 20,000 cases each year creating delays of up to two years before a matter reaches its final hearing. The reform is aimed at alleviating the massive backlog of cases and reducing delays in the process by allowing an extra 8,000 cases to be resolved every year. https://www.warlows.com.au/family-court-abolish-not/

19.01.2022 CHARITIES: Can you SAY that? In an age of increasing polarity, agreement on policy matters between Australias major political parties are becoming rarer and rarer. Such a case was evident recently regarding the surprisingly volatile charity sector. Labor and Liberal were both up in arms at the recent decision of the Australian Charities and Not-For-Profits Commission (ACNC) to investigate the political activities of an arm of the Catholic Church which manages Melbournes private Catholic schools. https://www.warlows.com.au/charities-can-say/

18.01.2022 In April, the High Court in Burns v Corbett [2018] HCA 15 declared that the Civil and Administrative Tribunal of New South Wales (NCAT) does not have jurisdiction to determine matters that involve residents who reside outside of New South Wales.

14.01.2022 Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull proposed tax cuts over the 2018-2019 income year for businesses with a turnover of less than $50 million. The tax cut scheme lowers the rate of corporate tax from 30% to 25%. In order to sell the scheme to the Australian public, Turnbull has linked the tax cut to wage rises for workers. However, according to opposition leader, Bill Shorten, these tax cuts are simply giving away $65 billion to big business. It is differing reports and opinions l...ike these which have led many Australians to wonder whether the proposed Big Business Tax Cut really will create the greatest benefits to the Australian economy.

A PAF has an investment structure in which an original donation is managed by the trust and distributed to charities over a lengthy period. It has a number of advantages, including accountability, tax benefits, and facilitating philanthropy after ones death.

10.01.2022 The ASX is recognised around the globe as a diversified worldwide equity market with a reputation for conducting markets of integrity.

08.01.2022 Following a recent application submitted to the ACNC, a private school located in a remote part of Australia was approved to be a PBI. The school, focused upon educating Aboriginal members of its local community, was previously registered as a charity for the purpose of advancing education. This incredible tax benefit which is not enjoyed by most schools in Australia is due to the ACNCs definition of PBI. However, the implication of the current regime is that organisations that are working specifically with Aboriginal peoples or Torres Strait Islanders may be able to become PBIs and enjoy the consequent tax benefits. https://lnkd.in/e3iEhGH
