Online virtual webinars provide you with an easy way to stay up to date in your tax compliance from the convenience of your own office.

This virtual seminar will be delivered in two parts and will consist of two 3.5-hour long webinars over two consecutive days, making it easier to fit into your schedule than a full day session. And the shorter length makes the webinars more engaging.

The webinars will include plenty of time for questions and each webinar will include a break midway through to make the experience as comfortable as possible.

To help you get the most out of the virtual seminar, you will be sent the slide deck in advance of the virtual seminar and you’ll also be able to download an iFirm T1 Tax Resource Guide in addition to the slide deck that you can refer to after the virtual seminar.

A recording will be available to view for a limited time after the sessions.
