It was well presented and comprehensive.
Great course! Ian's presentation style is clear and comprehensible. His use of visual examples made it easy to follow the tax return implications. The topics covered were highly relevant. A great refresher on everyday tax issues. The only scenario I would have liked to have seen is a rental property leased by both a non-arms-length and an arms-length person at a loss when receipts must be provided to the tenants for tax purposes.
great course
Great coverage of all tax areas.
