11th Annual Tax Seminar: The concept of fairness in national and international taxation
Florence
01 - 03 March 2018
Our exciting scientific programme will focus on the topic of "fairness" in taxation. In a world increasingly focused on wealth inequality, both nationally and globally, how are tax authorities seeking to ensure that everyone pays their fair share, and how should tax payers make sure that they get a fair deal too.
Through a combination of practical examples and policy knowledge of top professionals, we will explore issues for corporates, individuals and anyone who wishes to understand the future of fairness through taxation.
