GST for Overseas businesses and Small business company tax rate cut

For your 2016 tax return, the small business company tax rate has been reduced from 30% to 28.5%. This lower rate likewise applies to small businesses that are corporate unit trusts and public trading trusts. If you complete your own company tax return, use the new rate of 28.5% when working out the ‘Tax on taxable or net income’ (T1) in the ‘Calculation statement’
