Primary Concerns

Published on 31 Oct 2003 | Took place at Cottesloe Beach Hotel, Cottesloe, WA

Professional advisers specialising in primary production have arguably been the black sheep of the tax profession with a dearth of quality seminars specific to primary producers.

These seminar materials redress that with a series of presentations pertinent to those advising on tax issues relevant to primary producers.

Whether you work predominantly with Primary Producers or simply wish to refresh your understanding of key issues, these materials will provide an abundance of practical and technical information at a level justified by the complexity of the issues which you deal with on a daily basis.
