About the seminar: This half-day seminar will give you an informed picture of the Dividends Tax, which replaces the Secondary Tax on Companies (STC) on 1 April 2012. Presenters Kevin and Lindsay Mitchell will delve into all the provisions that are going to apply to the new tax and ensure you have a proper understanding of it before it comes into operation. Since it was first announced in 2007 it has taken four years for this new tax to come into effect. The tax was introduced in two phases. Phase one saw the rate of STC reduced and the tax base broadened through the closing of loopholes. Phase two, initially delayed due to international tax treaties, has now been resolved and the final issues necessary for the implementation of the Dividends Tax are contained in the 2011 Taxation Laws Amendment Act. The Mitchell brothers will give you an informed and comprehensive assessment of the new Dividends Tax and what it will mean to your business.Who should attend?
