Corporate Taxation in Central & Eastern Europe (CEE) is currently undergoing rapid change as it is being redefined by BEPS. While initially CEE had flat tax regimes to attract inward investment, recent tax policy developments in the region reflect global trends in international taxation. It is crucial to stay abreast with how each country’s tax authorities are implementing new taxation laws.

With a priority to increase Tax revenue, authorities in the region are increasing scrutiny of tax planning structures and transfer pricing by multinational enterprises. This has resulted in intensified Tax Audits, New Transfer Pricing Rules, Penalties and increasing Tax disputes.

Central and Eastern Europe provide a wide range of Taxation challenges. Tax professionals have to deal with a wave of new measures including new documentation requirements, Audits by Tax authorities and new Tax and Transfer Pricing related legislation. The International Taxation in CEE Conference will concentrate on current pressing issues for multinational in-house tax counsels, offering practical advice on achieving Tax compliance and minimising Tax Risks and Disputes in the region.

The conference will feature presentations from expert speakers and leading industry experts. Some key highlights of the event include:

‒ Keynote session on the Impact of OECD BEPS action plan in CEE

‒ Case studies on Tax planning and Tax optimization and profit repatriation strategies for CEE

‒ Strategies on Transfer Pricing aspects of  Intra-group Transactions, Business Restructurings and Advanced Pricing Agreements
