The WA Tax Forum is the most expansive tax program on the WA CPD calendar and the leading CPD event for WA’s tax profession. In 2024, we have revamped the program to provide a greater emphasis on the latest developments and hot topics, to ensure delegates stay up to date with our constantly shifting tax landscape.
Once again in 2024, the program featured a stellar line-up of interstate speakers including The Tax Institute’s Robyn Jacobson, CTA, the the ATO’s Chief Tax Counsel, Fiona Dillon, CTA, and Deputy Commissioner, Objections and Reviews, Andrew Orme and Linda Tapiolas, CTA, Cooper Grace Ward Lawyers, as well as WA’s finest tax minds, to present on issues which are front of mind for all tax practitioners.
The highlights of this year’s program included:
- A focus on recent and anticipated changes to the tax landscape including new rulings, case law and legislation
- A fresh look at familiar challenges including Division 7A, the Small Business CGT Concessions and Family Trust Elections
- Dealing with tax disputes and ATO investigations from audit to litigation
- Addressing ATO debt recovery action from payment arrangements and DPNs to winding up applications; and
- Understanding the expectations of the Tax Practitioners Board and your ethical obligations.
