I am planning to close my company and revert to a sole trader. I offer professional services and the company owns assets such as computers, phones, the lease on my car etc...


How do I change these assets over to me personally? i.e. can I give or donate them to myself for free, or do I have to sell them to myself etc...?


And are there any tax implications in transferring these assets to myself?


Is there anything else I need to be aware of in relation to company assets?


> I am aware that to delist my company, the company can only have assets of up to $1000.

> I am the sole director of my company

Hi @awp1975


You'd normally do a balancing adjustment when your company stops using depreciating assets. You may qualify for the small business restructure roll-over for any active assets.


Check our info about changing your business structure. You'd need to get all your tax obligations sorted before you de-register, i.e lodge BAS, tax returns etc. Have a read through the links to start with and let us know if you have more questions.
