Session 2: Tax and Funds - A Recap
Time: 11:00 – 12:40
Speaker: Daragh O’Shaughnessy – O’Shaughnessy Tax
The recent personal tax deadline will have provided a perhaps painful reminder to many tax advisers of the unusual and complex tax treatment of income and gains from fund investments. We are often required to carry out a detailed review of what may appear to be a straightforward investment in order to determine the correct tax treatment for our clients.
The tax treatment of Irish and offshore funds has been updated and changed several times in recent years, so all advisers need to ensure that they are kept up to date in this increasingly more relevant area. This presentation will guide attendees through this tricky topic in a practical manner so that the information provided can be put to use in addressing the real-world situations they face with client tax returns in the future.
In this session, Daragh O’Shaughnessy will cover the following:
- Guidance on how to identify what funds are subject to special tax treatment
