For many years now the Law
Society has continued the tax
education of solicitors through the
Continual Legal Education system
and, recently, a video of the practi-
cal aspects of CAT has been pro-
duced in a joint venture with the
Revenue Commissioners. This
video is an essential element of
giving clients a full service in re-
lation to wills, estates and family
matters and in meeting the Am-
nesty deadline and should be
acquired by every firm in the
country. It is available to solicitors
at the reduced rate of £95 per
copy.
We must await the publication of
the Finance Bill to see the exact
details of the Amnesty, but the
solicitor must do his homework
now and must review all his files to
see if any circumstance exists
which might expose him to liability
if he fails to take advantage of the
Amnesty. This is one final oppor-
tunity for solicitors to "clear the
decks" with the Revenue Com-
missioners in relation to Capital
Acquisitions Tax and it is to be
hoped that we will grab it with both
hands.

ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS IN IRELAND
The R.C.S.I, was founded in 1784. It conducts an
International Undergraduate Medical School for the training
and education of Doctors. It also has responsibility for the
further education of Surgeons, Radiologists, Anaesthetists,
Dentists and Nurses. Many of its students come from Third
World Countries, and they return to work there on completion
of their studies.
Medical Research is also an important element of the College's
activities. Cancer, Thromboses, Blindness, Blood Pressure,
Mental Handicap and Birth Defects are just some of the human
ailments which are presently the subject of detailed research.
The College is an independent and private institution which is
financed largely through gifts, donations, and endowments.
Your assistance would be very much appreciated, and would
help to keep the College and Ireland in the forefront of Medical
Research and Education.
For tax purposes, the R.C.S.I. is regarded by the Revenue
Commissioners as.a Charity. Therefore, gifts and donations
may qualify the donors for tax relief.
