Description
This course in corporate tax is designed for those who desire to update and refresh their knowledge in both technical and review of concepts in tax planning, not specific strategies or commoditized “tax plans” for corporations. Although corporate taxation of both public and private corporations is reviewed, the primary focus is on the taxation of private companies.
As much as people tend to think otherwise, memory is not infallible. Fortunately, tax professionals have the opportunity to relearn foundational material in the context of new changes (and we know how often the government loves to change things). This two-day course in corporate tax is designed for those who desire to update and refresh their knowledge in both technical and review of concepts in tax planning, not specific strategies or commoditized “tax plans” for corporations. Although the course reviews taxation for public and private corporations, the session primarily focuses on the taxation of private companies. You will receive detailed course materials covering a broad range of corporate tax topics, which serve as an invaluable future reference. In addition to receiving presentation material, you will work through case studies covering a wide range of corporate tax issues, collaborate with your peers, and share issues impacting their clients.
