Frauds and Scams Webinar

Can clients access tax relief when they lose money or assets?

When and how clients can potentially claim a deduction for lost money
Working through the CGT rules when deductions can’t be claimed
Can tax relief be claimed when crypto assets are stolen?

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

When a client is the victim of fraud or a scam, navigating the tax system probably isn’t their first priority. However, at some point they will need to consider whether tax relief can be available for money or other assets that are lost due to fraud, especially if the loss relates to business or investment activities carried on by the client.

Unfortunately, this can be a complex area to navigate and there is a lack of clear public guidance on how the tax system applies to financial losses relating to fraud or scams.

The Frauds and Scams Webinar guides you through the process of determining whether tax relief can be available to clients who have suffered financial losses from fraud or scams to minimise the overall impact on the financial position of clients.

We look at the potential options for claiming a deduction and what happens if no deduction is available. We also take a look at the increasingly common scenario where crypto assets are stolen and when tax relief might be available.
