This year we’re back in Launceston, at the Country Club. The Tasmanian State Convention remains the state’s premier taxation event.
Once again, we have a line-up of outstanding speakers who will present on a range of topics relevant to Tasmanian tax practitioners.
The technical program covers a broad range of tax issues that we as advisers are confronted with. As in recent years, there is an emphasis on the practical, including looking at compliance matters at the Tax Practitioners Board, superannuation member balance strategies upon death, agribusiness; and our old favourite, trusts.
This year the pre-convention workshop, which is titled ‘Division 328: it’s not just about small business’, gives a hands-on start to the two days, with Andrew Brown CTA, from Deloitte.
