Thank you to those members, their staff, our suppliers, and national customers that attended to make the conference a great event. It was a window into the future and what is coming our way, the opportunities it will provide as well as the obstacles we will need to navigate.

The Distributors will continue to develop and improve on our technology and how we use it to the benefit of the members and look forward to the journey with you all.

Kind regards,

George Tsapoutas | CEO

The 43rd edition of The Distributors Mid-Year Conference and Trade Show has come to a close, leaving a lasting impact on the confectionery, snack food, beverage, and grocery industries.

Held at the prestigious Hyatt Regency Sydney from May 13th to 16th, 2024, this four-day spectacle brought together over 250 attendees, including esteemed suppliers, warehouse owners and operators, and National customers.

The four-day event featured keynote speakers including Theo Foukkare of AACS delivering the State of the Industry update, Adam Spencer who guided guests through the new AI landscape as well as one-on-one supplier sessions, a product showcase, and networking opportunities. The conference provided a platform for knowledge sharing, building relationships, and recognizing achievements. Attendees praised the event for its valuable insights, new product ideas, and networking opportunities. The conference set a new benchmark for industry events, and the organizers look forward to continued growth and success in future events.

The Distributors wish to thank everyone involved, especially our Supplier Sponsor partners without whom this event wouldn’t be possible.

2024 MID-YEAR

CONFERENCE

Pitch Deck

After a successful introduction last year to the ‘speed dating’ style pitch deck sessions, another great round was held this year at the Hyatt Regency.

There was a buzz of energy in the room as suppliers embraced the opportunity to sit down one-on-one with retailers exploring potential deals.

During the two-day Pitch Deck sessions, suppliers and retailers collaborated to identify the optimal solutions for their individual brands.

The PepsiCo-sponsored Twisties Chicken vs. Cheese dinner at Dockside brought the second day to a close. Renowned magician Jack Black enthralled the crowd with his clever and entertaining magic acts.

The presentation of this year’s awards and a magnificent black-tie Gala Dinner at the Hyatt Regency marked the high point of the Distributors 2024 Conference.

Apart from the 2024 winners of The Distributors Excellence Award, several awards were given to longserving members of The Distributors to acknowledge the dedication and hard work they have put in with the group in their time so far.

We also had a new induction into The Distributors Hall of Fame, with Wayne Henderson from Universal Candy – our second inductee into this prestigious category.

The party kicked on with more mingling and of course some dancing at the Zephyr Sky Bar sponsored by Red Bull.

Finance Update Company Money Crackdown

The ATO is cracking down on business owners who take money or use company resources for themselves.

It’s common for business owners to utilise company resources for their personal use. The business is often such a part of their life that the line distinguishing ‘the business’ from their life can be blurred.

While there are tax laws preventing individuals accessing profits or assets of the company in a tax-free manner, mistakes are being made and the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) has had enough.

The ATO has launched a new education campaign to raise awareness of these common problems and the serious tax consequences that can arise.

What the tax law requires

Division 7A is an area of the tax law aimed at situations where a private company provides benefits to

shareholders or their associates in the form of a loan, payment or by forgiving a debt. It can also apply where a trust has allocated income to a private company but has not actually paid it, and the trust has provided a payment or benefit to the company’s shareholder or their associate.

Division 7A was introduced to prevent shareholders accessing company profits or assets without paying the appropriate tax. If triggered, the recipient of the benefit is taken to have received a deemed unfranked dividend for tax purposes and taxed at their marginal tax rate. This unfavourable tax outcome can be prevented by:

• Paying back the amount before the company tax return is due (this is often done by way of a setoff arrangement involving franked dividends); or

• Putting in place a complying loan agreement between the borrower and the company with minimum

annual repayments at the benchmark interest rate.

The problem areas

Division 7A is not a new area of the tax law; it has been in place since 1997. Despite this, common problems are occurring. These include:

• Incorrect accounting for the use of company assets by shareholders and their associates. Often, the amounts are not recognised;

• Loans made without complying loan agreements;

• Reborrowing from the private company to make repayments on Division 7A loans;

• The wrong interest rate applied to Division 7A loans (there is a set rate that must be used).

Like life, managing the tax consequences of benefits provided to shareholders and their associates can get messy quickly. Avoiding problems can often come down to a few simple steps:

• Don’t pay private expenses from a company account;

• Keep proper records for your company that record and explain all transactions, including payments to and receipts from associated trusts and shareholders and their associates; and

• If the company lends money to shareholders or their associates, make sure it’s on the basis of a written agreement with terms that ensure it’s treated as a complying loan – so the full loan amount isn’t treated as an unfranked dividend.

There are strict deadlines for managing Division 7A problems. For example, if the borrower is planning to repay the loan in full or put a complying loan agreement in place, this needs to be done before the earlier of the due date and actual lodgement date of the company’s tax return for the year the loan was made.

Finance Update cont. Company Money Crackdown

Accessing money in your SMSF

The ATO has made a call to professional accountants to help identify and manage illegal early access to superannuation by members of self-managed superannuation funds (SMSFs).

In general, access to your super is only possible if:

• You retire and turn 60; or

• You turn 65 (regardless of whether you’re working).

Early access to superannuation is only possible in very limited circumstances such as terminal illness, permanent incapacity, and severe financial hardship and there are very strict protocols to follow before any amounts are paid out.

One of the benefits of an SMSF is the control that it provides to members. The flip side of full control is the temptation to dip into the super account and approve transfers without proper controls.

There are two common ways illegal early access occurs:

• When the trustees (or their business) are in financial distress and they use the superannuation account for a short-term loan; or

• A promoter offers access through a scheme – often getting people to establish the SMSF and roll over their superannuation into the SMSF.

Illegal access to the SMSF’s account or assets is not difficult to identify and generally will be picked up by your auditor. Where illegal access has occurred, not only is it likely that your retirement savings have been lost or impaired, but you are likely to face additional tax, penalties and interest, and be disqualified as a trustee. In addition, your name will be published online.

One of the signs that there is a problem is when SMSF annual returns are not lodged on time or at all so ensure you are up to date with your SMSF compliance.
