Tax-Aware Financial Advisory for Individuals and Business Owners

Programme Highlights

This course helps FA reps understand how individual and company income tax concepts affect financial planning conversations. The course will not train participants to become tax advisers; instead, it helps them identify tax-sensitive planning opportunities and know when to refer clients to qualified tax professionals.

The AI component would focus on tax-impact mapping, client profiling and tax-aware financial planning prompts, using approved tools to identify planning questions around income, CPF top-ups, SRS, insurance deductibility, business protection and succession needs.
