How long have you been affiliated with The Tax Institute?

I have been going to the Institute's conferences for 20 years and have been a member since 1998.

What is the topic you are presenting at the 23rd National Tax Intensive Retreat?

Workshop 2: Cleaning Up/Winding Up Companies and Vesting Trusts.

What can attendees expect to learn from your session?

I expect we'll all learn a few things from each other. Every year someone asks a "what if" question that is a real game changer, and the answer sheet goes out the window!

How will attending your session help delegates help their clients?

Old structures aren't that common - but everyone has one or two that are close to exit in their client base.

What do you like to do when you're not knee-deep in tax?

Who has the time not to be knee-deep in tax? The joy of having a conference in Noosa is the ability to combine business and pleasure.
