“It is envisaged that the session will explore the legal
developments of the CGT provisions and what that has meant in a practical sense
to practitioners. The Panel will discuss where the CGT provisions have been
applied in a particular way that perhaps the draftsmen did not originally
envisage”, Brian said.

applied in a particular way that perhaps the draftsmen did not originally
envisage”, Brian said.
“What is a CGT asset, what is a liability, what is the
distinction between pre and post CGT assets, what is the market value of a CGT
asset, how do the CGT provisions provide for a sensible and practical treatment
of trusts and interests therein will be matters touched on during the
discussion. Have the underlying principles of the distinction between revenue
and capital being blurred by the use of CGT concessions to provide differential
CGT tax treatment of various transactions?”, he continued.

Mark tells us delegates will leave better equipped to help
their clients “able to take away an effective historical approach to
solving current CGT problems”, while Brian said “In addition to being
informative and interesting, the focus of the discussion is intended to draw
attention to some of the contentious and practical CGT issues confronting
practitioners. Thought provoking notions will set the scene for further
discussion during the course of the conference.”
