Building on the success of the inaugural symposium, this year’s event will take place in Entebbe Uganda and will focus on today’s burning tax issues, such as the post-BEPS landscape, aggressive tax planning, transfer pricing and challenges impacting particular industries and transactions. These topics will be brought to life by a rich selection of renowned tax experts. This compelling mix is enriched even further by IBFD’s top experts on Africa.
The Africa Tax Symposium is an initiative of IBFD’s Centre for Studies in African Taxation (CSAT), a think tank devoted to the study and development of African taxation.
Through the event, CSAT aims to contribute to deeper and more analytical knowledge of international tax across the continent. It also sponsors research into areas of tax policy relevant to particular sectors in Africa. One way of effecting this is by means of “CSAT scholarships,” under which qualifying researchers receive sponsorship for pertinent research work. CSAT has just concluded arrangements for several such scholarships and full details will be unveiled during the symposium.
