Day 1 @ 16:00

Crypto tax: A new world of tax strategies for your clients

Connoisseurs of the 30,000 + pages of the tax legislation will appreciate the repeated pattern over time of the tax legislation being updated to reflect new events, changing technologies and events on the ground.  Each update stapling its own addition to the existing considerable body of work. 

In this age, the tax legislation is yet to update itself to reflect the new realities of cryptocurrency.  A world where transactions formerly in the purview of only the largest banks and institutions – notorious for their tax planning strategies - are suddenly available to regular people in a synthetic form. 

The speaker spent a number of years advising these institutions of such transactions, and asks the obvious question of whether the ordinary person can now harness these strategies too.

In this session we explore such strategies, the knowledge of which may be of great benefit to your clients.
