A wide array of topics will be covered including medical expenses, passing on a business / farm during lifetime or by will, owning rental property, selling sites, young trained farmers and much more.
We will look at some quirky issues such as knowing that very significant income tax savings can be made if the right spouse dies!(What does RIGHT mean?)

The session will be presented by Mel Kilkenny and Stephen Loughran of LK Tax Ltd.
