Convert the COVID-19 Crisis into a Blessing – Youtube Professional Trainings

Dear Readers, Friends, Colleagues & Followers,

Assalam O Alikum (Peace be on you),

Hope you’re all doing well and staying safe. These are unprecedented times and a rare lock-down experience for many. This has resulted in many of us finding ourselves with additional times at our disposal. What we do with this time is our call.

It’ll be the right thing to use at-least some of this time for personal & professional development to convert the ongoing COVID-19 crisis into a blessing.

We’ve decided to play our part and are conducting several CPD training sessions on core technical areas covering taxation, soft skills & digital technologies.

Furthermore, we’ve activated our #Youtube channel and providing the videos of these and older training sessions for your professional development and learning.

This is our humble contribution to the profession and society at large. We’ll be uploading videos on this channel regularly with at-least one video to go live EVERYDAY at 12 PM (Pakistan Time) till 18th April 2020.

Session on Taxation Laws at LCCI

Session on Taxation Laws at LCCI

Dear Readers,

Assalam O Alikum (Peace be on you),

It’s good to be back after a break and I intend to write blogs regularly like before.

Below are some pictures to share with you all from the highly topical and greatly received session on the “Tax Laws (Second Amendment) Ordinance, 2019 & Income Tax Return – Filing & Issues” held at the #Lahore #Chamber of #Commerce & #Industry.

It was an honor to be the Speaker and Chief Guest on the occasion. As you all are aware, it’s my belief that we have a duty to give back to the society and disseminating knowledge is one of the best forms of the same.

Various businessmen, professionals and some taxation officers attended the session which went almost two hours over the allocated time, showing the high interest level of the participants.

I’d like to thank the LCCI team for organizing this and the wonderful audience for a 100% positive feedback. Also, thank you to my wonderful team at #MLCC for their constant support.

FREE CONSULTATION: The Foreign & Domestic Tax Amnesty 2018 – EXTENDED till 31/07/18

Golden Opportunity for you & the Country:

With the OECD data sharing re tax avoidance and black monies looming closer along-with the threat of severe implications, the recent amnesty by Government of Pakistan appears to be a golden opportunity for those with assets/income without proper trail.

Due to the administrative and legal issues getting clarified only about a couple of weeks ago, the response to Amnesty didn’t really took off until the last two weeks. And was it some response?

It was phenomenal particularly compared with the last few amnesties. Even for the country, with its’ economy currently in a dire strait, this seems to be providing a much needed breather while the nation awaits the next Government to take charge and hopefully steer the economy in the right direction. Moreover, it may help increase the documentation of the economy which seems to be a lost cause to date despite immense expense by FBR.

While it maybe a great opportunity for, it does require a lot of care and proper planning. We can proudly offer you complete confidentiality, competence and commitment with a proven track record of 100% excellence to back it up over four (4) decades of firm history.
