A Live Instructor Led Webinar

Divorce and relationship breakdowns aren’t just emotionally draining for your clients, they’re also packed with complex and often overlooked tax implications. 
 
Join leading tax expert Michael Carruthers for this must-attend session where he unpacks the tax traps, concessions, and strategies critical to managing family breakdowns. With CGT events, asset transfers, deemed dividends and more at stake, giving the right advice isn’t optional, it’s essential. 
 
While the tax rules provide some specific concessions that are designed to reduce the tax liabilities that could be triggered in these situations, the rules can be complex and need to be considered carefully.  

Proactive advice is essential to ensuring efficient tax outcomes. Whether your client is negotiating a clean break or untangling years of shared finances, your advice could make all the difference.
