Abstract
The Corporations Amendment (Crowd-sourced Funding) Act 2017 (Cth) allows ‘eligible CSF companies’ to ‘crowdfund’, provided they meet the Act’s threshold eligibility and other requirements. Unfortunately, as passed, the Act excludes all proprietary companies (and most public companies) from its operation, a defect that is being rectified, at least in part, by the Corporations Amendment (Crowd-sourced Funding for Proprietary Companies) Bill 2017 (Cth). Unlike other measures that have been introduced to assist innovative start-ups, however, neither the 2017 Act nor the present Bill provide any taxation incentives for either investors or the company. Nor do they address any of the possible tax problems that may arise because of the reform. This paper considers both the reforms and those possible issues.
