Tax Deductions Essentials Webinar

The framework for determining if and how a deduction is available

Step-by-step guide to determine whether a deduction can be claimed
Timing issues: now, later or a mixture of both?
Key changes, the latest ATO guidance and lessons to be learned from recent cases

A Live Instructor Led Webinar

Tax deductions are often the subject of dispute between the ATO and clients. This means that it is important for practitioners to stay up to date with developments as they arise, especially because practitioners often need to exercise a degree of judgment in determining whether a deduction can be claimed.

The Tax Deductions Essentials Webinar provides you with a framework for understanding when deductions can be claimed and how to apply the timing rules.

We explore the revenue and capital distinction, but also look at some of the key rules which can allow deductions to be claimed for capital expenses. Ensure your team is up to speed with the latest developments, that clients aren’t missing out on deductions that are available to them and keep them under the ATO’s radar.
