Tax Training
About Tax Training
Cartland Law’s Tax Training is held each week from 9 am to 10 am on Friday mornings. We have been holding these Tax Training in some form from over a dozen years. Originally, they were held for the staff of Dr Campbell Rankine and open to interested parties. Dr Rankine still leads the majority of the sessions.
The format of the tax trainings is a discussion group and not a lecture. They are at an advanced level and intended to delve deep rather than wide. You receive 1 CPD Point for attendance.
Typically, we discuss one case per week. The nature of the discussion is not predictable (indeed the best parts are often tangential discussions) and sometimes the case may be extended across multiple weeks. The cases chosen for discussion are either part of deep dives down particular topics (eg the nature of a beneficiary’s interest in a trust) or novel judgments as they are arise. Accordingly, while there is an overarching narrative the subject for the next week can only be truly finalised one week in advance. Sometimes topics are set in advance (particularly when the discussion leader is from interstate) and the narrative will flow around that set session.
We consider black letter law. Accordingly, Tax Training is suitable for both private practitioners and officers of the revenue as we ultimately have the same aim: to ensure that taxpayers pay the correct amount of tax.
If you would like to attend a particular week, please RSVP below on this page using the form before the event with your coffee/tea order and we will have it waiting for you when you arrive. Alternetively you can email our office manager Pamelia. Places will be secured by the first responders. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the discussions, they are in-person only. There is no cost to the trainings.
There is a mailing list to join if you would like to be alerted to the Tax Training topics on a week-to-week basis.
