SUMMARY:Superannuation for self-employment
DESCRIPTION:Logan Office of Economic Development (LOED) has partnered with Griffith University Tax Clinic to present you with this workshop. \nWhile you are running your business\, your retirement may be the last thing you are thinking of.

This workshop will look at: \n\nHow your super obligations are influenced by the way you set up your business (sole trader\, partnership\, company and trust)\nWhen is a tax deduction available for your super contribution\, and\nYour super obligations you have for workers of your business.\n\n
