a p r i l 1991

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. •
