In this podcast, Paul Croft talks to Marc Rossi, Restructuring, Insolvency and Recoveries partner at Hicksons, about what the new anti-phoenixing legislation means for directors and other stakeholders, particularly if they are to avoid falling foul of the new legislation.

I wanted to start with something I am passionate about, and glad to see the ATO cracking down on, and that is essentially widening the net in regards to illegal phoenix activities. For those of you that do not know, Phoenixing is essentially abandoning a company and then recommencing a similar company with similar stakeholders, but essentially your tax liabilities from the former company are neglected, and abandoned. Hence the term Phoenix, it is essentially a company that rises form the ashes of another. The benefit of a company is that the directors are protected by the corporate veil and generally are not personally liable for the liabilities of the company. This has changed in recent years, and the recently enacted Treasury Laws Amendment (combating Illegal Phoenixing) Act 2020 takes this further still. What is new in this is act, which is already in effect, is that there are new phoenix offences, which essentially serve to prohibit creditor-defeating actions. This essentially prohibits any transfer of company assets for less than market value that would delay or hinder a creditors access to company assets in a liquidation. In the past essentially, it was only employees via superannuation obligation,s and the ATO, via director penalty notices that were protected. Any unsecured creditor was hung out to dry, with no affordable and effective recourse. If a company officer is found guilty of these new offences, there are new criminal offences and civil provisions. There is also a denial and restriction of backdating resignations. Typically a form can be submitted to ASIC outside of the 28 day lodgement obligation period, but a fine applies. Now however, these forms will essentially be denied, especially in situations where the company would be abandoned, that being, have no director at all. The director would only be able to resign from the date the form is reported to ASIC. Furthermore, abandonment of a company by a resigning director which would leave the company without any directors, is now prevented. Furthermore, directors may become personally liable for the company’s GST liabilities. This is in addition to the existing director penalty regimes in respect of pay-as-you-go and superannuation liabilities. This is 100% a welcomed addition, as ensuring ALL liabilities can be met is part of the internal governance obligations of the company directors and officers. Finally, the ATO now have the authority to retain tax refunds in certain situations, which allows the ATO to ensure that companies satisfy their tax obligations and pay outstanding amounts of tax before being entitled to a tax refund. If you are a director of a company make sure you are compliant. I know it goes without saying, but the corporate veil is certainly thinner now than it was before February 18th. The ATO has commenced an inquiry in to the tax treatment of employee share schemes. Based on my Linkedin feed this has certainly been welcomed by the accounting profession and what the committee will inquire is: 1. How effective the changes in 2015 have been in their goal of bolstering entrepreneurship in Australia and start-up companies. 2. The costs and benefits of these concessional taxation treatments and deferred taxing points for options, to the broader community. 3. Whether the current tax treatment of ESS remains relevant to start-up companies and whether any changes are appropriate to ensure that the taxation treatment remains relevant 4. How companies currently structure their ESS arrangements and how taxation treatment effects these decisions, and 5. The challenges faced by companies in setting up an ESS arrangmenet and how the standard documents introduced by the ATO in 2015 assist this process and whether additional improvements should be made. Obviously very early days in this inquiry, but it is important nonetheless. Employee share schemes provide a great avenue for start up companies to attract talent and definitely something that the ATO are aware of, and this inquiry is evidence of themselves changing, accepting that the market place is a changing and dynamic one. As more information comes to hand we will of course be sharing it. Something with a bit more detail, is that we are now in March, and that will see Auskey retired this month. For most of us tax practitioners we will have fully migrated to the RAN and myGovID, which is a system that initially I was very skeptical of. In fact when I first installed it, I could not access my clients, and when I called the ATO, they literally said to just “try tomorrow”. Thankfully we were able to resolve the issue and get it all working, and I must say for the last 8 weeks it has worked pretty well. Certainly not without it’s teething issues, which are always frustrating, but safe to say this is now a working software solution. If you have not, make sure you are on this new system, as it will be your only option soon enough and you want to make sure you have everything in place.

In this week’s episode of the Flat Chat Wrap we look at the revelation that the Opal and Mascot towers “disasters” are just the tip of a very large apartment block defects  iceberg. Jimmy Thomson and Sue Williams have been writing about apartment block defects – and other, happier apartment-related issues – for more than 15 years. In this episode of the Flat Chat Wrap, Sue recalls the time more than a decade ago that a feature on defects almost cost her job, when a property writer with a close personal relationship with a developer, saw her expose on apartment block defects and called her friend. The developer called the editor and threatened to pull all their advertising if the story went ahead. The editor caved in.  Sue offered her resignation but it was turned down (although she is now a freelance working mostly for other publications). That’s just part of the reason that the whole grubby business of building defects, government lack of interest (to the point almost of collusion) and corporate cover-ups have led to the point we are at now where ordinary people don’t know for sure whether or not their apartment is going to have serious building problems at some point. This episode looks at two of the root causes of the problem – phoenixing and lack of “duty of care” and how they can, together, leave apartment owners with little or no consumer protection. Phoenixing is when a development company builds an apartment block and then goes into liquidation when the claims for defect rectification come in. However, a similar company with similar or identical directors can then rise from the ashes of the previous entity and do the same thing over and over again. “Duty of care” or the lack of it relates to a legal precedent established last year that said builders only have a responsibility to apartment block developers, not to the people who bought the apartments. One of the legal arguments was that they couldn’t have contract responsibility to the apartment owners through their owners’ corporation (body corporate) since that body didn’t exist when the contracts were signed. So you can see, remove the developer (who has gone into voluntary liquidation), and the apartment owner is left high and dry. NSW is planning to create the position of Building Commissioner to deal with these and other problems, including the certification of engineers and developers. We’ll be watching with interest to see how that pans out. On a happier note, Sue has also been looking at the winners of the NSW Architecture Awards and some of the innovative designs that caught the judges’ eyes.

In this week’s episode of the Flat Chat Wrap we look at the claims that the Opal and Mascot towers “disasters” are just the tip of a very large apartment block defects iceberg. This comes as no surprise to JimmyT and Sue Williams, who have been writing about apartment block defects – and other, happier apartment-related issues – for almost two decades, meeting a response that ranged from complete lack of interest to virtual censorship. In this episode of the Flat Chat Wrap, Sue recalls the time 15 years ago that a hard news feature on defects almost cost her job, when a (then) property writer saw her newspaper expose on apartment block defects and called a developer mate to warn him. The developer called the editor and threatened to pull all the company's advertising if the story went ahead. The editor caved in.  Sue offered her resignation but it was turned down (she is now a freelance writer and author, mostly working for another publication). That’s just part of the reason that the whole grubby business of building defects, government lack of interest (to the point almost of collusion) and corporate cover-ups have led to the situation we are in now where ordinary people live with the fear that their apartment is going to have serious building problems at some point.
