If you’ve ever looked at a Double Tax Agreement (DTA) and felt overwhelmed by the legalese – you’re not alone. But overlooking or misapplying a DTA can cost your client dearly.

The language used in DTAs can be difficult to understand and even more difficult to apply to client scenarios. In this practical and highly relevant webinar, Michael Carruthers takes you through the process that should be followed and explains the common features of many of the DTAs that Australia has with other countries. In many cases, a DTA will provide your client with more favourable tax treatment – the problem is that practitioners often overlook the existence of DTAs or make mistakes when trying to apply DTAs to their clients.

Whether your clients are expats, foreign investors, or businesses with cross-border dealings, this session will give you the edge. 

Registration includes:

  • 1.25 hour on-demand event
