These rewarding one day seminars provide an in-depth overview of Capital Gains Tax with a detailed examination of quoted securities; as well as an update on recent developments, planning ideas, pitfalls and a wider range of transactions. Dates for 2009: Tuesday 24 February, London Wednesday 25 February, London (Advanced) Wednesday 7 October, London Thursday 8 October, London (Advanced) Tuesday 20 October, Edinburgh Wednesday 21 October, Edinburgh (Advanced) Prices from £455 +VAT per delegate For further information and to claim your second place at half price, email cgt.seminars@interactivedata.com or call 020 7825 8515. Slovakia to Adopt the Euro
Effective January 1st 2009, Slovakia will adopt the Euro as its currency. The "Irrevocable Conversion Rate" agreed is 30.1260 Slovak Koruna for one Euro. As a result of this, the fixed exchange rate will be added to IND1, CUR1 and CUR3; and exchange rates for the Slovak Koruna will no longer be available in CUR2 and CUR4. All changes will be effective from 1st January 2009.
