With the energy and resources sector taking a promising upswing in comparison to the recent past, The Tax Institute’s National Resources Tax Conference comes at the right time for the sector to embrace opportunity once again.

As in previous years, the conference program will provide updates on questions of tax transparency, increased complexity in transfer pricing, R&D claims, valuations and Part IVA. Adding to this continued focus, will be sessions on contingent consideration, project combinations and stamp duty as well as evaluating M&A opportunities.

The Tax Institute’s programs are renowned for delivering leading technical presenters discussing practical solutions to tax issues. This year will be no exception. Some of the nation’s leading tax professionals including Andrew Broadfoot QC will be complemented by senior ATO officials such as Second Commissioner, Andrew Mills. We are also delighted to have Ian Macfarlane from Queensland Resources Council sharing his thoughts on the changing energy mix.

In addition to a first-rate technical program delivered in the heart of Perth’s CBD, we will provide ample networking opportunities, including an exclusive conference dinner in the newly built Optus Stadium.

I thank the committee for delivering an exceptional program and I look forward to seeing you at the conference.

Technical program

Day 1 – Wednesday, 24 October 2018Time Session Presenter

11.30am-12.45pm Registration and lunch

12.45pm-1.00pm Welcome and Opening Address Nick Heggart, CTAGreenwoods & Herbert Smith Freehills

1.00pm–1.45pm Session 1: The Changing Energy Mix This session will explore the changing energy mix both locally and internationally and what this means for the resources sector.

Ian MacfarlaneQueensland Resources Council

1.45pm–2.30pm Session 2: A Comparative Review of The Reconstruction Powers of Divisions 13 and 815, and Part IVAMuch has been written about Australia’s retired transfer pricing provisions, Div 13 and Subdiv 815-A, especially in light of the Chevron decision. But there is far less said about Subdiv 815-B and, in particular, s 815-130 dealing with “reconstruction”.

This session will compare and contrast the reconstruction powers under each of Div 13, Subdiv 815-A, Subdiv 815-B and Part IVA, and in doing so, will explore the core Subdiv 815-B concepts of “arm’s length conditions”, “comparable circumstances” and “commercial and financial relations”. The discussion will assume a basic level of understanding of Australia’s transfer pricing and Part IVA (including Multinational Anti-Avoidance Law and diverted profits tax) provisions.

Niv Tadmore, CTAClayton Utz

Jerome Tse, CTAKing & Wood Mallesons

2.30pm–3.00pm Afternoon tea

3.00pm–3.45pm Session 3: Exploring Other Current Transfer Pricing Issues – A Panel DiscussionFollowing the earlier transfer pricing (TP) session, Mark will provide an update on where the ATO is heading on its TP and base erosion and profit shifting work program for the next 12 months.

The session will then move to a panel discussion, which will consider broader TP issues that may include an update on PCG 2017/4 and its schedules, and dealing with ATO audits, disputes and settlements in a TP context.

Panel:Mark Konza, Australian Taxation Office

Niv Tadmore, CTAClayton Utz

Jerome Tse, CTAKing & Wood Mallesons

3.45pm–4.30pm Session 4: Administering Energy and Resources Taxation – Challenges and OpportunitiesThe energy and resources industry has faced a number of significant tax issues in recent times that are equally challenging for the ATO as administrator of the tax system. In an environment where the ATO is focused on improving the client experience, both opportunities and challenges present themselves. This session will examine some of the interpretation, litigation and policy challenges facing the industry and suggest some opportunities to improve the tax environment for participants.

Andrew Mills, CTA (Life)Australian Taxation Office

Day 2 – Thursday, 25 October 2018Time Session Presenter

9.00am–10.00am Session 5: Contingent Consideration – What Do We Know?Notwithstanding the introduction of the look-through earnout rules, the tax treatment issue of contingent consideration continues to create areas of uncertainty for taxpayers involved in M&A in the resources industry. In this panel session, the topic will be approached from the perspective of two panellists who have considered the issues in detail and identified where the real issues lie. The session will focus on:

— The major tax issues for sellers and buyers to be aware of when negotiating contingent consideration arrangements, with emphasis on the resources context

— The application of the taxation of financial arrangements regime (Division 230) to contingent consideration arrangements

— Current ATO thinking — What the future may hold.

Chair: Nick Heggart, CTAGreenwoods & Herbert Smith Freehills

Panel: Marcus Ryan, CTAAustralian Taxation Office

Craig Yaxley, CTABoard of Taxation

10.00am–11.00am Session 6: Tax Disclosures - Is Sunlight the Best Disinfectant?This session will consider developments in tax disclosures, the impact of not making disclosures, and provide insights on what that information reveals about taxpayer behaviour. It will focus in particular on:

— Why have additional transparency measures been implemented? — What additional information now needs to be provided as a result of compulsory and voluntary transparency measures (reportable tax positions, the tax transparency code, getting to justified trust)?

— When should information be disclosed? Can you wait until an audit starts? — How does that information need to be disclosed (as part of the tax return, as part of the statutory accounts)?

— Who do the disclosures need to be made to (boards, the ATO, users of the statutory accounts)?

— Where is the benefit of the disclosures? Have they resulted in taxpayers paying their fair share of tax?

Enzo Coia, CTADeloitte

11.00am–11.30am Morning tea

11.30am–12.30pm

Session 7A: PRRT - Key DevelopmentsGiven the current climate of change forecast for petroleum resource rent tax (PRRT), as well as an evolving technical focus on specific elements of the operation of the Act, this session will focus on a number of key legislative and interpretive developments associated with PRRT.

Ryan JonesPwC

Session 7B: Current Issues in Financing for Resource CompaniesThe session will review current issues in financing relevant to resource companies, including:

— The new hybrid mismatch rules, what is proposed and what taxpayers should do to prepare for the introduction of the new rules

— Thin capitalisation — Interest withholding tax including s 128F and treaty exemptions.

Sessions 8A: Navigating the Shifting Sands for Non-Resident ContractorsThis session will provide an update on a range of measures that have relevance for non-resident contractors operating in Australia. This will include non-resident contractor withholding tax, the potential application of the Multinational Anti-Avoidance Law and recent international developments with respect to when permanent establishments can be held to exist.

Matthew Popham, CTAKPMG

Session 8B: Project Combination/Integration in the Resources Sector – Tax ConsiderationsThis session will explore the tax, duty and state royalty considerations associated with the various ways in which assets can be combined and/or shared across resource projects. In particular, it will highlight some of the key tax impediments to implementing project combinations and investigate potential avenues for addressing them.

James O’ReillyPwC

2.30pm–3.15pm

OR

Sessions 9A: Structuring a Sale and Purchase – Stamp Duty on Direct vs Indirect AcquisitionA direct assets acquisition commonly produces a different duty outcome to a share or other indirect acquisition. Such duty considerations are important when structuring an acquisition (what duty is payable on the acquisition), and determining the appropriate holding structure for the acquired assets (noting that different structures can give rise to different duty outcomes on exit).

This session will focus on:

— Direct assets acquisition vs share acquisition. What is in the duty base in each relevant Australian state and territory? What valuation requirements apply?

— Particular holding structures and comparative duty consequences on exit — Duty considerations on pre-sale restructure.

Jinny ChaimungkalanontHerbert Smith Freehills

Session 9B: R&D Tax Incentives – The Shifting Policy and Regulatory LandscapeThis session will examine how to navigate the R&D tax incentive program, which is currently going through unprecedented change, from both a policy perspective as well as a regulatory perspective concerning interpretation, governance and substantiation. The session will cover:

— Policy changes (proposed or implemented) and their flow-on effect on R&D tax incentive claims

— Current regulator thinking on legislative interpretation and how it is impacting mining industry claims

— Outline of the new level of governance and substantiation requirements for your R&D claim.

James EdwardsKPMG

3.15pm–3.45pm Afternoon tea

3.45pm–4.45pm Session 10: Part IVA and RestructuresA number of tax measures have recently been introduced, or are in development, with the aim of removing the attractiveness of particular structures from a tax perspective (e.g. the hybrid mismatch rules). It is reasonable to expect that taxpayers may wish to alter existing arrangements so that they are not exposed to the harsh consequences that can flow. This session will consider the Part IVA issues to address when restructuring arrangements in response to such legislative changes.

Andrew Broadfoot, QCVictorian Bar

Day 3 – Friday, 26 October 2018Time Session Presenter

9.00am–10.00am Session 11: The Future of Tax – Digital, Controversy, Governance and RiskThe way tax professionals are required to think and act is changing, and quickly. The digital world is changing the way we record and report; a growing number of stakeholders are impacting the way we govern and manage tax risk; and the global debate around tax and everyone paying their “fair share” is changing the way we engage in and manage controversy.

In that landscape, how do you prepare yourself, your team and your tax function for this future? This session will share insights on how tax professionals and tax functions are needing to adapt to meet these demands, including through the use of technology, advocacy and people.

Jonathan Rintoul, CTAEY

10.00am–10.30am Morning tea

10.30am–11.30am Session 12: Valuations – Placer Dome and RCFThis session will explore some of the key points relating to valuations in light of the Placer Dome and RCF decisions for duty, Div 855 and thin capitalisation purposes. The discussion will consider:

— The statutory context — Valuation methodologies — The types of mining interests — Intangibles and mining companies — Briefs to experts and assumptions.

Philip Bisset, CTAClayton Utz

11.30am–12.30pm Session 13: Expenditure Related to Capital Assets – Immediately Deductible or Capital in Nature?This session will provide insights into the ATO’s current technical views in relation to the tax treatment of expenditure incurred in relation to acquiring, constructing, developing, enlarging and upgrading capital assets. The session will also cover the ATO’s compliance approach, including what’s attracting their attention and how taxpayers can reduce the risk of ATO compliance activity.
