Death and Taxes; neither can be evaded but Clever Burdy can teach you how to avoid the latter.

If you have a fear of the tax man or have ever asked the question “How do I file an Income Tax Return (Form 11)?”, then this the course for you.

Navigate your tax and filing obligations with absolute ease from this point on. Even if you have an accountant or tax agent handling your income tax return, the benefits of understanding business taxes cannot be underestimated and this course will guide you on how manage your business money in the most tax efficient way.
