Taxes Workshop For Theatre Artists

Our popular "Taxes For Theatre Artists" professional workshop returns to help you sort your way through the 2011 tax season.  What is the difference between "employment" and "self-employment"?  What is a "reasonable expectation of profit"?  What's deductible?  This is one of our free workshops for members of Theatre Ontario, lead by chartered accountant Sam Marinucci, and it will be on March 8 at 3pm.
