In Victoria, the Long Service Leave Act 2018 (Vic) (Act) sets out employee entitlements to long service leave. Victorian employees are entitled to take long service leave after a minimum of 7 years’ of continuous service with one employer.

In the decisions of Greensill (Thawley J) and Martin (Steward J), the Federal Court found in favour of the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) that section 855-10 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (ITAA 1997) did not disregard a non-taxable Australian property capital gain distributed to a foreign beneficiary of an Australian discretionary trust.

Attracting and retaining high performing employees can be key to ensuring the long-term success and growth of a business, which many Australian business have found challenging as a result of COVID-19.

Congratulations to Harwood Andrews Principal Paul Gray, being recognised amongst Australia’s top performing partners across the Commercial practice area within the Australian legal profession.
