The expenses that can and cannot be claimed as a deduction
Step-by-step guide to dealing with insurance proceeds
Concessions in the tax system for impacted clients

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

Bugger. Now what?

Dealing with the tax system might be the last thing on the mind of clients who have experienced disruption, damage or destruction to their assets as a result of a natural disaster. However, clients in this situation will often be faced with some complex tax issues and practitioners need to be aware of the key issues that need to be considered.

The Fires, Floods & Storms Webinar explores the common tax issues that need to be navigated when clients are recovering from a natural disaster. The tax system contains a number of concessions that might provide clients who have been affected by natural disaster with some tax relief. It is vital for practitioners to know what is available so that clients receive proactive tax advice.

You can't prevent the harm of natural disasters but you can make it easy for clients to access the concessions and benefits that will make it easier for them to keep going.
