This session is hosted by Paul Moodie, Senior Partner in Performance Consulting, and Daniel Gibbons, Partner in Tax Advisory. What will be covered:
- What hasn't changed: mandatory duties, timelines, and responsibility to contact beneficiaries
- What has changed: COVID, Brightline, interest deductibility and top marginal tax rates
