Capital Gains Tax Seminars 2009

New dates announced!

Special offer - book one place and get a second half price!

The CGT rules changed fundamentally on 6 April 2008. For the first time, a CGT reform has done away with the old rules and genuinely simplified tax - but corporate transactions seem to grow more complicated to balance that.

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.
