Conference Agenda

Once again the MIT Annual Tax Conference will tackle topical and relevant domestic and international tax issues, both in plenary sessions and in specialised workshops:

Plenary sessions

Pillar 2: the current state of play

Our key note speaker will present insights into the current state of play around Pillar 2 and what we can expect to see in 2025.

This will be followed by a panel discussion on the challenges that Pillar 2 is facing.

The role of the Tax Practitioner for AML purposes

The MIT’s Professional Affairs Committee has been actively involved in the discussions with the NCC and relevant stakeholders around the interpretation of the notion of “relevant activity”, specifically in the context of activities of tax advisors, in the Prevention of Money Laundering Regulations. This presentation will shed light on the outcome of those discussions and the developments tax professionals can expect to see by way of changes to the rules in this essential area of practice

Insights into the progress of the MTCA’s “Delivering Transformation” strategy

Representatives of the MTCA, specifically the Directors General for Operations, Legal, and Verifications & Audit respectively will provide insights into the MTCA’s work and progress so far toward the objectives announced in the strategy for 2023-2025.
