"For any taxpayer or a professional assisting them with their taxes, it is crucial to be aware of the impact of principles that are most commonly used and most often confused. The risk of missing a spot is potentially missing out on tax benefits or underpaying on taxes, both of which is an undesirable position to be in. Join us for a session with a practical approach on these tax principles to guide you past these pitfalls."
