Australia's new Tax Residency Laws - How will it affect You?

We are delighted to be collaborating with AusCham's corporate members, Majenda and Skybound Wealth Management, to present this seminar.

Using a number of real life case studies, the presenters, Geoff Taylor, Managing Director @Majenda; and Ryan Donaldson, Regional Manager & Senior Financial Planner @Skybound Wealth Management, will explain how the proposed changes may impact Australian expats and what strategies they can utilise to minimise their overall tax position. 

The presentations will discuss financial planning strategies in a case study format, as well as tax optimised investment strategies for those expats who intend to remain in Switzerland for the long term and for those who intend to return to Australia to continue their careers or retire.

Registration is complimentary. Networking and drinks will follow the presentation. Please register HERE - we look forward to seeing you there!
