Course Details

The historical nature of our tax system means that marriage has many implications on the tax system. Once “I Do” has been said you are in a different part of the tax system. As a consequence of this, divorce also has a major impact.

 

Barry Jefferd covers the implication of marriage and divorce, across the spectrum of the tax system during this course.


The following topics are covered during the course:

  • Income tax, correct use of Form 17
