Australia’s leading estate taxation conference

With the client bases of many practitioners ageing, the complexities of asset holdings and family arrangements increasing, and the highest ever intergenerational wealth transfers now occurring, practitioners need to invest time in developing an understanding of the taxation of deceased estates. This is an emerging market and opportunity for many, but equally one that has seen an unprecedented growth in litigation. It therefore presents risks and tax nuances that practitioners must manage and be alert to.

Industry experts and an expansive technical program

This excellent conference held over two days will address a range of topical content including the administration estates, administering an SMSF on death, a dive into the re-emerging provisions of 99B and 100A, plus much more.

Who should attend?

A must-attend event for all tax and legal practitioners involved in succession planning and estate administration.

Venue and destination

This year the Death and Taxes Conference will again be held in Brisbane at the centrally located Calile Hotel. It’s a great opportunity to return to in person events and reconnect with colleagues and peers from across the profession.

Network, network, network

Our specialist conferences are designed to allow delegates the time to enjoy robust technical discussions with colleagues and incorporate several opportunities throughout for attendees to mingle with peers and presenters. Each conference program includes dedicated networking functions for attendees to connect with like-minded members of the profession and discuss the latest issues in tax and beyond.
