Updated to 1 July 2008, INCOME TAX & GST STRATEGIES MANUAL highlights specific requirements that must be considered when applying the principles of tax law to the circumstances of individual taxpayers, highlights tax traps that may not be apparent from a reading of the legislation and advises you on how to take advantage of the favourable application of particular provisions of the tax law. Strategies are specific, topic-based, practical and easy to use, with worked examples and calculations to further aid your understanding. The strategies are cross-referenced to relevant AUSTRALIAN TAX HANDBOOK chapters for related background information, saving you valuable research time.
