Originally, the event aimed to accommodate 300 participants, but interest surged, leading to an extension of the capacity up to 750 seats within just two days of opening registration. This reflects an overwhelming response to the event, prompting the organizers to enhance the experience for a larger group eager to engage and learn.

The Motivation Behind the Event
Landmark Tax Corporation's mission is to transform the perception of taxes from perceived difficulty to enjoyment. They have collaborated with QuizKnock to develop a series of informative YouTube videos showcasing taxes, including inheritance tax, income tax, gift tax, and topics like NISA and hometown tax in a playful quiz manner, reinforcing their educational message.
Despite this, many still find taxes daunting or feel they don't need to engage with such topics. With over 11,000 inheritance tax filings under their belt, the firm recognizes the necessity of early education about taxes and inheritance. This event aims to provide a platform to change opinions and increase understanding through enjoyable interaction.
What to Expect
The event will feature a quiz addressing pertinent everyday financial queries, such as:
- - What are the non-taxable limits for money gifted from parents?
- - Is NISA indeed advantageous?
- - Who is liable for inheritance tax?
- - How much tax arises from inheriting property?
The workshop will also include a section for visitors to participate in quizzes, making it a family-friendly learning experience. Attendees will surely depart with valuable insights and a sense of shared knowledge.
