This comprehensive program featured some of Brisbane’s most highly regarded speakers who focussed on tax solutions for SMEs.

- the accidental developer
- recent developments in asset protection and structuring
- CGT and small business solutions
- current trust issues
- strategies for simpler super and SMSFs
