About This Course

In times of financial difficulty, discussions about the inability to recover debts and the available options are becoming more frequent.

A debtor may be released from their obligations under a debt through the creditor electing to write off or remit the debt, or through the operation of law. This typically triggers debt remission income under the financial arrangement rules. Alternatively, a debt write-off may trigger a dividend, or there may be no tax consequences.

This course will consider the tax implications of writing off debt, including:

  • When the financial arrangement debt remission rules apply and when they don’t
  • The self-remission rules for LTCs and partnerships
  • The economic group remission rule
  • The requirement to undertake a base price adjustment
  • The availability of deductions for the creditor

 

Suitable for: Tax-aware intermediate-level accountants and senior accountants.
