FARMERS in Australia operate in a highly variable environment, and agriculture is considered the most volatile sector in the Australian economy.

In fact, the volatility of the agricultural industry is nearly double that of any other industry in the country. With variability and volatility comes risk.

Unfortunately, in life, there is rarely a reward without taking a degree of risk. In farming, risk is an essential part of generating income. Managing risk is about making business decisions that exchange some level of tolerable risk for some degree of acceptable return. Decisions can be made to decrease risk, but that can often result in lower revenues.

To effectively manage risk in their business, grain producers need to understand both the …

The Italian Revenue Agency has concluded that a sale stock in an Italian company in connection with a business restructuring is exempt from the financial transactions tax because the sale was exclusively aimed at changing the legal form of the entity that will hold the stake in the Italian company not profit from the sale.

As described in Resolution n. 28/E, published 9 March, the case at stake involves a business restructuring through which 25 % of shares in an Italian company are sold by a Dutch company (the seller) to a British company (the buyer). Both the buyer and the seller are equally owned by a Dutch foundation and a British investment fund.

The issue relates to the tax regime applicab…

A NUMBER of Dalby businesses caught up in the 2017 collapse of Ostwald Brothers have been dealt a fresh blow, as liquidators move to recover several million dollars worth of potential “preferential payments” made in the six months before the construction business went bust.

Dalby Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Rohan May said the town “had been papered” with notices from liquidators FTI Consulting alleging preferential payments, despite many of those same businesses still being owed money by the in-liquidation Ostwald Bros Pty Ltd.

Mr May described the impact of the notices as “debilitating”.

“In addition to still being owed millions of dollars, the little amount of money they did get paid is sought to be recovered…

Xue Guanglin, the founder of Brightoil Petroleum Holdingsand once a billionaire on the Forbes rich list, was declared bankrupt by Hong Kong High Court following a long-running case involving financial woes at his company.

Xue, 52, ranked as high as 51st on Forbes China rich list in 2015 with a reported wealth of 19 billion yuan.

Brightoil Petroleum, one of the largest private-owned oil companies in China, has been suspended from trading since October 2017 over a series of financial difficulties.

The committee of creditors to Gitanjali Gems, promoted by fugutive Mehul Choksi, has decided to liquidate the company to recover 12,558 crore it owes to 31 banks and financial institutions.

Choksi along with diamantaire Nirav Modi, are on the run since early last year after they misused credit facilities of banks and defaulted on loan repayment. Almost all the investigative agencies of the country are probing the multi-million scam perpetrated by Modi and Choksi together.

On Tuesday, Vijay Kumar Garg, the resolution professional of the company, informed the stock exchanges that the 180-day of Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process ended on April 6 and since the extension was not approved by the committee of creditors, the next logical s…

Specialist technology staffing company Parity Group (PTY: LSE) reported revenue for the year ended 31 December 2018 of 86.1 million, an increase of 2.7% compared with the same period last year.

Adjusted pre-tax profit decreased by 48.7% to 850,000 last year due to costs related to the delay and subsequent loss of a Ministry of Defence contract for Parity Consultancy Services. The delay and subsequent loss of the contract also impacted operating profit which decreased by 64.8% in 2018.

The group had earlier issued a profit warning in November 2018 over the delay of the contract.

New Delhi: Opening up a new window for promoters looking to retain control of their companies facing bankruptcy proceedings, the National Company Law Appellate Tribunal (NCLAT) has held that shareholders and owners can reach a settlement with creditors when their entity is under liquidation and an official liquidator has been appointed by the insolvency court.

The NCLAT order has far reaching consequences over resolution of stressed assets, especially those where promoters are seeking settlement post-initiation of bankruptcy proceedings in the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT).

As per amendments made to the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC), promoters are barred from participation in the resolution process of their stressed assets…

Gazprom has begun buying natural gas from Turkmenistan after a three-year pause, under a 25-year contract signed in 2003 and suspended in 2016.

Until 2010, Russias gas giant was the biggest buyer of Turkmen gas, Reuters recalls in its report on the story, adding that this was the year when Turkmenistan began exporting gas to China. This must not have sat well with Gazprom, for whom China is a major target market, so the company began reducing its intake of Turkmen gas.

However, the exports to China were not the biggest problem. In 2015, Turkmengaz, Gazproms counterpart in Turkmenistan, accused the Russian company of owing payments for gas deliveries. It even declared Gazprom insolvent, to which the Russian major responded with a…
