Our 24th Annual Conference in 2019 is making a major shift in our focus from Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) to a wider topic dealing with Use of
Computers and Digitalisation of the Global Economy. The theme for 2019 conference is "GLOBAL TAX REFORM: AN AMBITIOUS DREAM?" Our
keynote topic remains NEW TAXING RIGHTS : PILLAR I - NEW NEXUS AND NEW ALLOCATION OF TAXING RIGHTS.
As in previous year, our first speaker is Murray Clayson, the Current Worldwide President of the International Fiscal Association, with Porus Kaka, our
Past President, as the Session Chairman. Our Keynote Speaker in this session is Pascal Saint-Amans, Director of the OECD's Center for Tax Policy, based
in Paris. He heads the BEPS Project and reports regularly to a Committee of G20 Finance Ministers on its progress. He plans to submit the latest draft
proposals on Taxation of Digital Economy to G20 Committee for their comments in November this year. Our December Conference is perfectly timed for the
announcement of their recommendation on the subject in early December. We plan to invite several global experts from around the world as speakers to
support him.
Our other eminent speakers this year on Digital Taxation include Robert Danon, Professor at Lausanne University in Switzerland - Mike Williams from
the UK Treasury in the United Kingdom - Sol Picciotto, Emeritus Professor from Lancaster University, United Kingdom - Jeffrey Owens, Professor &
Director, Global Tax Policy Center at Vienna University - Akhilesh Ranjan, Member, Central Board of Direct Taxes, India.
As last year, the conference will be held jointly with IBFD, Amsterdam, and in co-operation with OECD, Paris. IBFD is the sister organization of
International Fiscal Association. It was set up as its publications, research and training arm in 1938. It is the largest institution of its kind in this field.
Foundation for International Taxation is also a charity and today runs one of the leading conferences annually on international taxation in India.
