Taming the Tax Beast - Strategies for Dramatically Reducing Your Corporate and Personal Taxes

(Wednesday, March 24th, 7:45 - 9:00AM.  Hosted by New World Financial)

 

Let's face it - NOBODY enjoys paying tax.  It's a necessary evil but that doesn't mean you should be paying more than you have to.  As a business owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that your small and mid-sized private corporation (with revenues ranging from $1M to $100M) takes advantage of every possible tax strategy in order to send less of your hard-earned money to the government.

 

In his engaging and easy-to-follow manner, Howard Lerner, CA and Partner at SBLR will cover a variety of traps to avoid and opportunities to exploit in order to 'tame the tax beast' - from multiplying the capital gains exemption, to paying significant tax-free income to your family, to tax planning in a downturn economy...and many more ideas in between. 

 

Hosted by New World Financial, this breakfast seminar will be held at Waterpark Place, 20 Bay Street in Toronto.  Registration is $10.  To reserve your seat, please contact Augusto Hidalgo, President of New World Financial at 416-840-0425 or at info@nwfin.ca.  Seats are limited and will be reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.  Seating preference will be given to business owners
