TOUR DE FINANCE 2015 - 'THE CASE STUDY SESSIONS' - BOOK YOUR PLACE NOW!



CASTIGLIONE DEL LAGO (UMBRIA) 20TH APRIL 2015

SAN GINESIO (LE MARCHE) 21ST APRIL 2015

For those of you who know me well you will be aware that I am always a little preoccupied with our Tour de Finance events and that I am always keen to make sure the audience is not bored to tears with dull presentations. I don't always get it right  and have made some presentation mistakes in the past but improved on those in the 'Forum' events over the last 2 years.  

Now I am ready to take our Tour de Finance events to another level and start to show you how to use all the tax, residency and financial information that I have been writing about and presenting for some time. 

           With that in mind, I have decided to make this spring the Tour de Finance 2015
           CASE STUDY SESSIONS'.   

Since 2012 and the introduction of the raft of tax and financial changes in Italy, a new norm of financial planning has evolved.  In the 'CASE STUDY SESSIONS' I would like to show you how we can all fit into that new norm quite easily and make living in Italy that little bit easier.

As usual the events will be FREE open question and answer events.  We will also return with our preferred team of experts who will be on hand to answer questions. 

GARETH HORSFALL (THAT'S ME) , THE SPECTRUM IFA GROUP (ITALY) 
Presenting the Case Studies and the best way to plan around the Italian tax system. 

ROB WALKER, INVESTMENT DIRECTOR 
RATHBONES INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT UK. 
Rob will be talking about financial marketss.  Greece, the EU, USA and the markets to watch in the coming months and years and how they may all affect us in the near future. 

ANDREW LAWFORD, SEB LIFE INTERNATIONAL.  
Andrew will explain the tax benefits of the Life Assurance Investment Bond as a tax efficient vehicle in Italy, what are it's uses and what purpose it serves. 

JUDITH RUDDOCK, 
STUDIO DEL GAIZO PICCHIONI (COMMERCIALISTA)
She will be on hand to explain the finer workings of the Italian tax system.

All about residence........

What are the issues facing some of you?  One which raises its head periodically is the question of residency and tax residency in Italy. 

Before I go into this I would like to look back for a moment at some very recent Italian past and reflect on why we are where we are today.
