What does the NSW Tax Forum mean to you, and more broadly, to the tax industry?

The Tax Forum is the premier tax conference in NSW, on par with The Tax Institute’s national conferences. It brings together experts from across the industry, working in different sectors and for different clients. Not only does it cover the newest and hottest topics, but it has a broad reach that deals with areas not ordinarily covered elsewhere.

What is the topic that you are presenting and what can attendees expect to learn?

I'll be presenting on Trusts and Asset Protection – Myth or Fact? Attendees can expect to learn whether trusts are still are useful vehicle for protecting assets. More broadly, what can be done to ensure that a trust structure does protect assets.

What new or hot topics will you cover?

Some relatively recent cases in the family law area, which cause concern.

How will attending your session help delegates help their clients?

Assist clients in providing a rounded view of trust structures and their use.

Which other sessions at the conference are you most interested in attending?

They are all pretty good. I will be interested to see Professor Gordon’s views on Ethics, while testamentary trusts are always interesting.

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

Is that possible?
