This course was formerly known as: TAX054: Corporate Tax Planning : Minimizing Tax Costs Through Tax Efficient Structuring

Programme Objective

The importance of tax planning and optimizing tax saving cannot be emphasized enough.  One of the primary reasons for tax planning is to minimize tax liabilities legally. It also helps to ensure compliance with tax laws and optimize investments and financing decisions. Failure to adopt and implement the right tax strategies and good tax planning could result in higher tax costs and reduce profits to business owners and shareholders.    

This one-day interactive workshop aims to provide participants with a good understanding and insight knowledge of the intricacies and key considerations of efficient and effective corporate tax planning. Participants will learn what are the crucial issues and important factors to consider when doing business and making investments or financing decisions. This workshop will also provide participants with the common techniques and pointers on how to analyze investment structure and financing transactions in order to minimize tax costs.

Illustrated with case and practical examples, participants will gain an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the key concepts and principles relevant to tax planning and the critical issues that should be taken into consideration when deliberating on making investments and financing decisions.
