Tax for investors 101

Shared Lunch

This week’s  conversation asks common questions and what you need to know about your tax as a retail investor.  

Mark Lash, a partner with Deloitte Private, helps demystify some of that pesky jargon and breaks down the what, when and how of tax when investing in company shares and funds.

Things like what’s an imputation credit? What are the gotchas when investing offshore? And how reliable is ChatGPT when it comes to tax advice?  

While Sharesies deducts tax on distributions in most cases, investors should have some awareness of their overall tax position. Find out more about Sharesies & Tax here
