For the first time this preeminent biennial event that brings together leading tax administrators, academics and practitioners from around the globe will be a combination of face to face and virtual participation.  In keeping with these challenging times we have chosen these dates to maximise the option of you being able to join us in person but with the flexibility to join us virtually if you can't.

The theme of the 2021 conference is:  'New Frontiers in Tax Administration'. During this two-day event, conference speakers will explore key tax administration issues including:

cutting-edge initiatives in service delivery and compliance including digital and data use, tap and go, and artificial intelligence;
data policy, ethical data exploitation, cyber security and new developments in regulating data platforms;
globalisation of revenue administration; and
tax dispute resolution and new approaches to protecting the financially vulnerable including the elderly, impaired and those in remote areas.
Presenters who previously had papers accepted please note we will be in touch to advise you of the new deadline for papers in case you want to refresh yours to take account of recent extraordinary developments!
