Estate and tax planning seminar set in Baguio

MANILA, Philippines - When death strikes a property or a business owner unexpectedly, heirs suffer. Huge estate taxes have financially wiped out many family fortunes.  The best time to prepare for this is when you are still alive. And when you really plan ahead, you outsmart the tax system legally.  If you do not plan your estate, lawyers will have to settle it. Taxes will be high and there is a possibility of litigation if heirs contest it. 

To help and guide you on this, the Center for Global Best Practices is hosting a one-day pioneering seminar entitled, “’Families’  Guide to Estate and Tax Planning”, scheduled on Saturday, Jan. 31, 2015 at the Baguio Country Club, Baguio City, Philippines.

On this one-day seminar, learn the secrets of tax-savvy rich families who are able to save millions of avoidable taxes with the right tax exempt and tax saving strategies in the transfer and disposition of their assets to their families and the next generation. Our expert practitioner will help you align your tax strategies with the recent tax laws and most recent BIR regulations and rulings. We will teach you novel asset protection strategies, including solutions and remedies to unlock frozen assets due to unpaid taxes. Best of all, we will show you the correct valuation method of your property so you can deal fairly and squarely with the tax authorities who at times can be vague about how they arrived at their own valuation.
