Review the manner in which partnerships and their partners are taxed, with reference to the relevant statutory provisions, case law and CRA administrative positions to better understand the “what” and “why” issues in preparing returns and advise clients with or considering partnership structures. 

OBJECTIVE:
The course reviews the manner in which partnerships and their partners are taxed, with reference to the relevant statutory provisions, case law and CRA administrative positions. The course will allow participants to better understand “what” and “why” issues in preparing returns and to better advise clients with or considering partnership structures. 

Although perhaps not as common as corporations, partnerships are commonly used business vehicles/structures.
