About This Course

Although the qualifying company regime was superseded by the look-through company regime on 1 April 2011, qualifying companies that existed on that date continue to operate under the regime.

To remain a qualifying company, it is necessary to satisfy a number of requirements. Special rules apply to dividends from qualifying companies that determine the extent to which the dividend is taxable or tax-exempt.

This webinar will examine:

  • The requirements a company must continue to satisfy to remain a qualifying company.
  • The special rules that apply to dividends paid by qualifying companies.
  • Income tax issues that arise during the winding up of a qualifying company.

 

Suitable for: This webinar is intended for accountants whose client base includes qualifying companies. It will provide experienced practitioners with a refresher on how the qualifying company regime works, while also equipping newer practitioners with the knowledge needed to work with complying companies.
