Advanced Tax (Australia), subject code CACC1508AU, is an online elective in the CA Program GradDipCA that requires Core 1 Ethics and Core 4 Tax (AU) as prerequisites. It runs over seven weeks and is assessed through scenario and application-based assessment with objective and extended-response components rather than a fixed multiple-choice test. The syllabus weights toward advanced entity, group and consolidation taxation, complex CGT and restructures, international tax, trusts, Division 7A and superannuation, and tax administration and ethics. Together with Core Tax (AU), it forms part of a Board approved Australian taxation law course recognised by the Tax Practitioners Board. This free prep models that body of knowledge as 100 multiple-choice questions grounded in current 2025-26 Australian tax law.

1Under the single entity rule that applies to an Australian income tax consolidated group, how is an intra-group transaction between two wholly owned subsidiary members treated for income tax purposes?
A.It is recognised at market value, generating an assessable gain to the seller
B.It is disregarded because the subsidiaries are treated as parts of the head company
C.It is taxed only if the asset is later sold outside the group within 12 months
D.It generates a deductible loss to the buyer but no assessable income to the seller
Explanation: The single entity rule in section 701-1 treats subsidiary members as parts of the head company while they remain in the group, so intra-group dealings are not recognised for income tax purposes. Only the head company lodges and is assessed. This eliminates intra-group gains, losses and dividends.
2What is the maximum net asset value threshold a taxpayer must not exceed (together with connected entities and affiliates) to satisfy the maximum net asset value test for the small business CGT concessions?
A.$2 million
B.$6 million
C.$10 million
D.$50 million
Explanation: Under section 152-15, the maximum net asset value test requires that the total net value of CGT assets of the taxpayer, connected entities and affiliates does not exceed $6 million just before the CGT event. The $6 million figure is not indexed.
3A private company makes a loan to a shareholder during the year and does not put it on a complying loan agreement before the lodgment day. What is the primary Division 7A consequence?
A.The loan is automatically forgiven and the company claims a deduction
B.The shareholder is taken to receive an unfranked deemed dividend up to the company's distributable surplus
C.The company must pay fringe benefits tax on the loan amount
D.The loan is rolled over tax-free into the next income year
Explanation: Division 7A treats a non-complying loan from a private company to a shareholder or associate as an unfranked deemed dividend, assessable to the recipient and limited to the company's distributable surplus. A complying loan under section 109N (minimum interest and maximum term) avoids this outcome.
4What is the Division 7A benchmark interest rate that applies for the 2025-26 income year for setting the minimum interest on a complying loan?
A.4.52%
B.8.37%
C.8.77%
D.10.00%
Explanation: The ATO set the Division 7A benchmark interest rate for the 2025-26 income year at 8.37%, based on the RBA indicator lending rate for bank variable housing loans. A complying loan must charge at least this rate to avoid a deemed dividend.
5Under Part IVA of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936, what must the Commissioner conclude before cancelling a tax benefit obtained from a scheme?
A.That the scheme was illegal under the Corporations Act
B.That a person entered the scheme for the dominant purpose of obtaining a tax benefit
C.That the taxpayer failed to disclose the scheme in their return
D.That the scheme produced an accounting loss
Explanation: Part IVA applies where, having regard to the eight factors in section 177D, it is concluded that a person entered into or carried out a scheme for the dominant purpose of enabling a taxpayer to obtain a tax benefit. Dominant purpose, judged objectively, is the central test.
6A taxpayer satisfies the basic conditions and has owned an active asset for nine years. Which small business CGT concession can reduce the assessable capital gain by 50% in addition to the general 50% CGT discount?
A.The 15-year exemption
B.The small business 50% active asset reduction
C.The retirement exemption
D.The small business rollover
Explanation: The small business 50% active asset reduction in Subdivision 152-C halves the capital gain remaining after the general 50% CGT discount. The two 50% reductions can stack, so a gain can be reduced to 25% before applying further concessions like the retirement exemption.
7What is the lifetime limit on the small business retirement exemption under Subdivision 152-D?
A.$100,000
B.$300,000
C.$500,000
D.$1,000,000
Explanation: The retirement exemption allows an individual to disregard capital gains up to a lifetime limit of $500,000. If the recipient is under 55, the exempt amount must be contributed to a complying superannuation fund or RSA to access the concession.
8Australia's controlled foreign company rules attribute income to Australian controllers when a CFC in an unlisted country fails the active income test. What broadly causes a CFC to fail that test?
A.It distributes all profits as dividends
B.Its tainted (passive) income is 5% or more of gross turnover
C.It employs more than 20 staff
D.It is incorporated in a treaty country
Explanation: A CFC fails the active income test where its tainted income (passive income such as interest, dividends, rent, royalties and tainted sales/services income) is 5% or more of gross turnover. Failing the test causes attributable tainted income to be assessed to Australian controllers currently.
9An Australian company pays an unfranked dividend to a non-resident shareholder in a country with no tax treaty. What is the general dividend withholding tax rate that applies?
A.0%
B.10%
C.15%
D.30%
Explanation: The default dividend withholding tax rate on the unfranked portion of a dividend paid to a non-resident is 30%, though tax treaties commonly reduce this to 15% or less. Franked dividends are exempt from dividend withholding tax to the extent franked.
10Which method must be used as the starting point for testing whether the conditions of an international related-party dealing comply with Australia's transfer pricing rules in Subdivision 815-B?
A.The actual contractual price regardless of market
B.The arm's length conditions that independent parties would have agreed
C.The lowest price available in any jurisdiction
D.The price set by the foreign tax authority
Explanation: Subdivision 815-B requires that the conditions of cross-border related-party dealings reflect the arm's length conditions that would operate between independent entities. Where actual conditions differ and confer a tax advantage, a transfer pricing benefit is negated and the arm's length conditions substituted.
