Course Description

The last tax return(s) for a deceased individual carry(ies) significant implications for the executor and the inheritors under the will.

To infuse the seminar with practical relevance, you will prepare and discuss real-life case studies pertaining to terminal return filings. 

Additionally, recent legislative amendments and proposed legislative amendments (e.g., CG inclusion rate(s); LCGE amount; GAAR; s. 164(6) post-mortem capital loss carryback planning; s. 84.1 and inter-generational business succession) impacting terminal filings will be reviewed.
