Tax Advice for Artists in Northern Ireland: In Depth with Louise Hanvey

Following the high demand for our recent webinar, Visual Artists Ireland is hosting an essential in-person workshop with financial expert Louise Hanvey focused entirely on tackling your artist Self Assessment tax return.

Get Hands-On Guidance for Your Tax Return

This is a crucial opportunity to move beyond general advice and get specific, practical guidance. Louise Hanvey from Balanced Business Solutions will:

  • Walk you through the actual Self Assessment return form step-by-step at the VAI office.
  • Provide detailed advice and management tips for your tax queries.
  • Ensure you are confident and prepared when submitting your return.

This format allows for focused learning and direct Q&A, making sure you leave with the clarity needed for accurate and efficient financial reporting.
