CTL Workshop: Trusts

Speaker: Professor Graham Virgo, Downing College, Cambridge. Last year Graham gave us a wonderful day on restitution. This year he is going to talk about trusts, why they are used and how they work. He is not going to talk directly about tax but rather about the trust rules to which the tax system is made to apply. It has been a complaint since long before FA 2006 that tax folk really do not understand the law of trusts. Graham?s day is designed to remedy that. Those with last year?s programme to hand will note that Graham is now a Professor; I cannot pretend that his promotion was just because of his day with us last year but it will give you an idea of the quality he brings to our gathering.

The Tax Law workshop series is run in partnership between the University of Cambridge Centre for Tax Law and Queens' College, and generously sponsored by HMRC and CIOT. The workshops attract a range of delegates, from postgraduate students and academics, to practitioners and those from business and government.

The venue is Queens' College. Registration will start at 9.45am and will take place in the Old Kitchens. The workshop will begin at 10.10am and will finish at 3.55pm and will be held in the Old Hall.

Delegate fees have been been waived for this workshop. Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
