When the typical new business operator starts a business, they
concentrate on making the business succeed. That is necessary
but not the only thing that a business operator should
concentrate on. A business depends on cash flow to exist and
grow, so business operators would do their business a good
turn by looking at sources of cash flow provided by the
Government.

We are talking about the taxation authorities such as Inland
Revenue Department in New Zealand (IRD), the Australian
Taxation Office in Australia (ATO) and Inland Revenue in the
United Kingdom and the Inland Revenue Service in the USA
(IRS). All of these taxation administrations, along with those
in Canada and South Africa for example, have both income tax
and goods and services tax (GST) or value added tax (VAT) that
present opportunities for refunds when a businessf+ expenses
exceed its income in the early stages of its life.

Initially, the start-up capital may come from savings, family
and friends and salaried employment. The last source of
finance +C salaried income +C means that the business operator
still works full-time for a salary and part-time on their
business. This presents particular opportunities to receive
extra cash flow to fund the growth of the business +C from
value-added taxes and income tax refunds.

It should be noted that even where the business owner does not
have other salaried (tax paid) income, they might have a
husband or wife who does have salaried income. If they become
a partner in a partnership conducting the business, or a
shareholder in a Loss Attributing Qualifying Company (LAQC) in
New Zealand only, then they can share in the business losses
and receive income tax refunds.

In Australia, there was an ATO income tax ruling (IT 2218)
that allowed a partner to receive a salary +C as long as the
partnership agreement recorded it in writing +C and this
presented an opportunity to maximize the loss f!
or one p
artner
(the salaried partner), thereby maximizing the income tax
refund. That income tax ruling was withdrawn on 22nd May 2002.
Australia has no LAQC equivalent entity. However, there is
nothing preventing a partnership agreement specifying a
partnership split other than 50/50, so that one partner can
receive more of the loss than the other. It would be prudent
for the partnership agreement to record the reasons for the
ratio used.

So, how does it work? Most businesses start off making losses,
and small businesses and home-based businesses are not exempt
from this. The total revenue or income is usually low. It is
often below the thresholds where the business has to register
for GST or VAT, so that the business owner may be tempted to
not register for GST or VAT, thereby saving on administration
(in filing the returns) or accounting costs.

If the business owner contacts their local taxation authority,
they will be correctly advised of the income thresholds for
registration and the decision will be left to them to make. It
would not be appropriate for a taxation officer to advise the
business owner on how to manage their taxation affairs, and
there is a case of the Privy Council (UK) that confirms the
Inland Revenue cannot tell a business owner how to run their
business. It is certainly not obligatory on the taxation
authority to advise a business owner on a course of action
that would contravene their charter of f
