“Beyond the traditional administrative assistance and automatic exchange of information framework, tax transparency has shaped numerous unprecedented changes concerning all taxpayers ranging from MNE groups, to intermediaries, advisors and individuals.” How does it permeate into the work of tax professionals, whether service providers or in-house practitioners?
In collaboration with the International Fiscal Association and the Women in IFA Network, Trudy Muscat, Malta WIN Representative, will share insights from the IFA European Region Conference in Lausanne held a few weeks ago. The Conference, themed ‘Tax Transparency’, offered thought leadership by EU policy leaders, the industry, members of the judiciary, and academics.
The scientific program of the IFA EU Conference covered the diverse angles of tax transparency reporting and the exchange of information framework, highlighting sensitivities for tax payers, tax professionals, the executive and the judiciary. Clearly, as evidenced by the iterations of the Directive on Administrative Cooperation and the development of country-by-country reporting, the post-BEPS framework has triggered a shift from a strict focus on, mainly, corporate income tax, to a more global and comprehensive assessment of a taxpayer’s tax affairs. This evolution, together with the effects of digitization on tax reporting, has prioritized aspects such as data protection and privacy, and has necessitated that corporate tax governance it at the top of our agenda. Trudy will sharing insights procured from the Conference with practitioners, to create awareness of the more important aspects and developments to keep in mind on the subject-matter.
