Tax practitioners are constantly facing questions regarding the tax treatment of foreign exchange gains and losses. Despite considerable reform in 2003 the foreign exchange rules still remain a mystery to many advisers.

  • tax v accounting
  • pre-Division 775 transactions
  • announced but unenacted changes
  • issues with bank accounts
  • impact of TOFA.
