Ten years ago, the United States introduced the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, reshaping the tax landscape and impacting every major industry. Today, the One Big, Beautiful Bill Act is doing the same, offering significant opportunities while introducing several important sunsets and phase-outs.

In this session Gina Maurino from Capstan Tax Strategies will explore how OB3 provisions will affect specialty tax incentives, breaking down the benefits while highlighting key windows of opportunity. Emphasis will be placed on proactive planning that leverages favourable provisions, teeing your clients up for success in the OB3 era.
