Resolving Current Tax Issues for SMMEs

Overview

This TaxCafé discussion forum will focus on resolving the current taxpayer issues experienced by tax practitioners. This discussion will provide an open dialogue and platform for tax practitioners to resolve current and “real-life” issues.

Webinar content

The monthly TaxCafé discussion forum will not be a traditional seminar/webinar developed by presenters, but it will rather deal with current issues experienced by tax practitioners that needs to be resolved.

Two weeks prior to the discussion forum, subscribers will receive a request to upload their current issues and questions. Based on the feedback/questions, the sessions will focus on the common and current issues. To provide you with a more focused discussion platform, the monthly TaxCafé will be rotated as follows:

• Resolving Tax Issues for SMMEs.
• Resolving Individual Taxpayer Issues.

There will be a session held every month, alternating between these two areas. We are committed to provide you with current solutions and answers to your pressing issues.
