2021 Queensland Tax Forum

Published on 27 May 2021 | Took place at Stamford Plaza, Brisbane, QLD

This event began with an outlook of the current economic environment and what this means for the re-emerging world. There was also thought provoking discussions with our expert commentators Robyn Jacobson, CTA, Dr David Morrison, CTA, Mark Robertson QC, CTA, Linda Tapiolas, CTA and John Ioannou, CTA, on the design and effectiveness of the CGT rollovers following the Board of Taxation’s review.

The 2021 program has been unapologetically designed to focus on expert-led technical sessions that provided participants with the practical insights and skills to navigate the changing tax landscape in the re-emerging world. With sessions covering topical issues surrounding trusts, intellectual property, superannuation, M&A, and capital management, as well as a plenary session delivered by Jeremy Geale, CTA, and Ali Noroozi, FTI, on the evolution of taxpayer engagement with the ATO, the Queensland Tax Forum set the scene for the next decade of tax.
