It’s very exciting times at The Tax Institute with nominations for our inaugural Tax Adviser of the Year Awards closing on 10 December.

With all our completed applications in, it is now up for our judging panel — made up of industry figures and members of the profession — to select our winners for 2014 in the categories of Emerging Tax Star, Tax Adviser of the Year, and Chartered Tax Adviser of the Year.

All the winners will be announced at next year’s gala dinner at the 29th National Convention in Hobart. Stay tuned.

29th National Convention

Included with your journal this month is a copy of the 29th National Convention program. Only just announced, Hobart is already looking to be one of our most popular conventions yet.

Long recognised as the essential event for anyone working in tax, attending the convention gives you up to 15 structured CPD hours, and the opportunity to grow your business and professional profile by networking with colleagues from around Australia.

The sessions, developed and presented by experts, will share the latest thinking in tax and will help you get the answers you need to help your clients. Don’t forget that you can save up to $400 if you register before 13 December.

Don’t miss out — visit our website and register now.

See you in Hobart in 2014!
