LDBA Seminar Series
Posted on Tuesday, May 11th, 2010
One of the LDBA objectives is to offer its members’ resources in which they can access for minimal cost or no charge to assist with building better business and gaining business knowledge. One way this can be accomplished is through a series of free seminars offered to LDBA members and hosted by professionals who are also LDBA members.
Up-Coming Seminars,

HST Seminar a Success
On Wednesday May 19, the Ladysmith Royal Canadian Legion hall was filled with LDBA and Chamber members to listen to APL Chartered Accountants (APL) professionals discuss Harmonized Sale Tax (HST). Tammy Lesley, C.G.A., C.A. Professional and APL Accountants Partner, possessed a great deal of knowledge on the subject of TAX. If you came into that seminar confused about HST, you surely walked away with a better understanding of the new tax system.
For those of you who still have questions, APL professionals are available to answer any questions you may have regarding HST. For more information please contact Tammy Lesley at (250) 245-1429 tammy [at] aplaccountants [dot] com.
